Glycolic acid, a must have that renews your skin and eliminates imperfections

  • Dr. Gabriel Serrano was a pioneer in formulating creams with glycolic acid in Spain, and 32 years later, ACGLICOLIC is still one of our best-selling lines.
  • The ACGLICOLIC formula includes liposomal glycolic acid, which increases its effectiveness by reaching the deepest layers of the skin and improving tolerance in all skin types.

Dr. Serrano, dermatologist and founder of Laboratorios SESDERMA, reveals the importance of glycolic acid, a must-have ingredient for maintaining healthy skin.

What is glycolic acid and what are its benefits? Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that has an intensive action on the most superficial layers of the skin, renewing it through a gentle exfoliating effect. It is extracted from sugar cane and is one of the most commonly used active ingredients to treat first expression lines, lack of luminosity or photodamaged skin. “This AHA manages to stimulate cell regeneration of superficial layers of the skin, resulting in epidermal renewal,” according to Dr. Serrano.
What are its benefits? Owing to its cell renewal capacity, glycolic acid can make skin appear more luminous and rejuvenated after its use. In addition, it is a very positive active ingredient to regulate skin complexion, managing to control acne-prone skin and progressively reduce the marks it causes, as well as blemishes from sun exposure. Among its multiple benefits, collagen synthesis stimulation is also prominent, helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. .
How should I use it? After applying products with glycolic acid, as with other active ingredients of similar action, we must have special precaution with sun exposure, since our skin will be renewed and therefore more exposed to the action of UV rays. Dr. Gabriel Serrano recommends the application of these products preferably at night and reminds us to use sunscreen daily.
As Dr. Serrano advises: “For someone who has never used glycolic acid and their skin is, therefore, not used to this acid, we recommend ACGLICOLIC products with a lower concentration, such as ACGLICOLIC liposomal serum with 6% glycolic acid or ACGLICOLIC classic moisturizing cream or gel cream, with 8% glycolic acid. For a person who has already used it and wants to increase the effect in his routine, we will prescribe ACGLICOLIC Classic Forte Gel Cream with 10% glycolic acid or ACGLICOLIC 20 Gel Cream or gel, with 15% glycolic acid.”
What is the difference between the ACGLICOLIC line? Laboratorios SESDERMA has developed ACGLICOLIC, an innovative product line formulated with free and liposomal glycolic acid. This line, launched in 1990, is a leader in sales and pioneer in its category, characterized for renewing and improving skin complexion visibly thanks to the use of NANOTECH. This technology allows active ingredients to be encapsulated in liposomes and penetrate into the deepest layers of the skin, which translates into superior efficacy and benefits after continued use.
