Glypure® readjusts water percentages in the epidermis, stimulates collagen synthesis, and promotes cell turnover/desquamation.
Glypure® glycolic acid is one of the most popular ingredients for anti-aging and exfoliation products. More recently it has been demonstrated to offer unique advantages in hair care.
