Starring 5% nature-derived glycolic acid (it comes from sugar cane), the Liquid Gold with 5% Glycolic Acid harnesses the cell-stimulating and exfoliating properties of alpha hydroxy acids, which melt the 'glue' that binds dulling dead cells to skin's surface, revealing the healthy 'new' skin cells beneath. What's more, by lowering skin's pH (from 5.5 to around 3), this overnight treatment stimulates cellular activity — accelerating the repair and renewal processes, as skin works hard to re-establish equilibrium. It bolsters synthesis of elastin and collagen (the 'scaffolding' that keeps skin firm), while penetrating deep within pores to eradicate spot-causing bacteria, all while the resurfacing action helps to diminish visibility of post-blemish scars, dark spots and brown patches, so your complexion quickly looks more even-toned and luminous. It's a must-have for anyone concerned with premature skin ageing, sun damage or problem skin conditions — just build up skin's tolerance gradually (to minimise redness). Apply with a dampened cotton pad, once a week for 2–3 weeks while skin acclimatises, then build up to 3 'neat' applications a week for maximum skin-brightening benefit.
