PureBliss Glycolic Rose Masque.

Features: Glycolic acid does several different things, all of which can be beneficial to the skin. Glycolic acid is a rapid exfoliant. On the surface of the skin, it dissolves the fatty molecules that keep the dead, dry skin cells on the surface of the skin. When it dissolves these molecules, the dead skin cells are washed away, leaving only the new, radiant skin behind. Your skin will feel smooth and soft, and because the dead skin cells have been removed, your other products, like moisturizers, will better penetrate the skin, making them more effective. Skin resurfacing and exfoliation are an important part of proper skin care.

Used over time, glycolic acid will start working beneath the skin's surface to produce more advanced results. It can lighten pigmentation caused by sun damage and it will stimulate collagen production. Loss of collagen and sun damage are both signs of aging skin. Increasing the collagen production makes skin more supple, and fine lines and wrinkles less visible. Lightening the sun spots and other skin discoloration makes the skin appears more youthful as well.

Glycolic acid skin care is also excellent for acne-prone skin. Because of its small molecular structure, it is well able to battle acne. Just as the glycolic acid dissolves the dead skin cells, glycolic acid will also work to destroy Propionibacterium, which is the bacterium that causes whiteheads and other acne. People who experience mild to moderate acne will benefit from using glycolic acid products on a semi-regular basis. Those who have moderate to severe acne may find that glycolic peels by a skin care professional, along with regular home maintenance, can control their acne for the long term. Our formula uses a 10% glycolic acid.

Please avoid the sun for 48 hours after using the product.
