Brightening cleanser with glycolic and phytic acids to refine skin
A soft-foaming gel cleanser, Glycolic Renewal Cleanser effectively exfoliates skin, delivering a clear and bright complexion while removing oil, dirt, debris, and long-wear makeup. Formulated with a high concentration of glycolic acid demonstrated by a free acid value of 8%, Glycolic Renewal Cleanser dissolves cellular cohesions in skin’s uppermost layer and promotes cellular turnover. Phytic acid, aloe barbadensis leaf extract, and glycerin complement glycolic acid, promoting skin clarity and brightness while leaving skin feeling comfortable and refreshed. Glycolic Renewal Cleanser rinses without leaving a residue, refines the appearance of pores, and primes skin for corrective and professional treatments. Suitable for twice daily use.
SCIENCE
For at-home treatments, glycolic acid is a sought after ingredient that is known for it's ability to deliver long-lasting, clinically-proven benefits. However, the challenge is identifying the appropriate concentration to deliver these clinically-proven benefits. Studies have shown that the range of 4-10% is the ideal level to target fine lines and dullness AT HOME. More specifically, in a cleanser, 8% free acid value was shown to be an optimal concentration to stimulate new cell generation.
FREE ACID VALUE, or it’s ability to exfoliate, is determined by a product's pH and concentration. For example, a product that has pH of 3.5 and an 11.75% glycolic concentration, the product would have an 8% Free Acid Value. Glycolic Renewal Cleanser with an 8% Free Acid Value, is an ideal addition to an at-home regimen to reveal brighter, more youthful-looking skin.

GLYCOLIC FREE ACID VALUE: Derived from sugar cane, this fruit acid dissolves cellular cohesions to release dead and dehydrated cells. Formulated with 11.75% added glycolic acid at a pH of 3.5 to deliver a true 8% active level.
PHYTIC ACID: Naturally present in legumes and seeds, this polyphosphate has a unique molecular structure that provides comprehensive exfoliation.
ALOE BARBADENSIS LEAF EXTRACT: Moisturizes, cools, and refreshes skin.
GLYCERINE: An emollient and humectant that attracts water to the skin and retains moisture.
Twice daily, gently massage a small amount onto a wet face. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
Cellular Turnover Study: In a dansyl chloride study, a quantitative measurement that determines the rate of cellular turnover, patients using Glycolic Renewal Cleanser exhibited an acceleration of desquamation and stratum corneum renewal. The increased rate of cellular turnover is a characteristic of more youthful skin.
