Gly Derm® glycolic

At the heart of the Gly Derm line is glycolic acid, the alpha-hydroxy acid that is derived from sugar cane. Glycolic acid works by penetrating the skin to help slough off the dry, rough, uppermost layer, leaving skin looking smoother and healthier. Younger looking too! The glycolic acid used in Gly Derm products is esterified - a unique process that enables us to deliver full-potency glycolic acid without the irritation that is often associated with this natural skin exfoliator and moisturizer.

Gly Derm has products to work with every skin type: Cream for Normal to Dry skin, Lotion for Normal skin, Lotion Lite for Normal to Oily, Solution for Very Oily or problematic skin. Plus there are many products to help smooth and hydrate your skin from head to toe!
