Glycolic acid eliminates comedos, penetrates inside hair follicles where it degrades intercellular cementing substances, removes and prevents creation of cornea mass forming comedos.
Glycolic acid, after penetration inside the skin, stimulates fibroblasts, intensifying synthesis of collagen, elastin and glycoaminoglucosides. In intensifies penetrability of epidermis.
