Glycolic Acid -

Glycolic acid is a" Fountain of Youth" for the skin, when you are using it correctly and in proper concentrations with other active ingredients.

It is  the only AHA which due to its small molecular size can penetrate through skin cells. Once inside the cell, it will trigger new formation of collagen and turn on the synthesis of dermal glycosaminoglycans to plump up the cell and the ground substances in the skin to reduce wrinkles on the skin's surface. Forced exfoliation with GA results in an emergency message to the dermis requesting immediate assistance, thus  originates the process of replacing cells to the surface, increasing the rate of turnover.

Glycolic acid also affects the newly forming keratin cells at the bottom of the stratum corneum. This gives a skin a much smoother look and feel. It is very effective in the treatment of acne, white heads, blackheads, bumps, eczema, dry skin, age spots, pre-cancerous growths, actinic keratosis and hyperkeratosis.

GA used in combination with Vitamin C and Retinol triggers the formation of collagen and speeds up the skin's renewal process ( www.adoragemd.com ), causing plumping of the skin.

Due to its excellent capability to penetrate skin, GA finds a great application in skin care products to improve the skin's appearance and texture.

Adorage is the first luxury skin care line to combine gentle neutralized GA and active ingredients like Hyaluronic acid, Retinol and Vitamin C with one of the world's most coveted botanical recipes ( www.adoragemd.com)

Once applied, GA reacts with the upper layer of the epidermis, weakening the binding properties of the lipids that hold the dead skin cells together. This allows the outer skin to "dissolve" revealing the underlying skin.

GA is the best known of chemicals called fruit acids or alpha -hydroxy acids AHA. Everybody knows Cleopatra's secret of beauty-milk baths. Milk is the lactic acid-one of the best AHA. GA was found in the 90-ies of the 20 century and became the ideal component for skin care, providing protection against free-radical damage, helping to relieve dry skin, stimulating collagen production, so the skin "learns to act younger".

The ability of Adorage to combine GA and Retinol is unique in the skincare marketplace.

Cosmetic products containing GA exfoliate the complexion. To protect the newly exposed skin from harmful UV rays, Adorage urges users to apply sunscreen on top of other products each morning.

The other effect of plumping-it usually makes the skin work harder and starve more. AdorageMD has a special Skin Formula oral supplement which helps to nourish the skin internally. It consists of necessary amino-acids and natural herbs that everybody needs for healthy skin and body.
