Hyaluronic acid
Not an exfoliant. A large water-binding molecule that holds moisture at the skin surface, paired with glycolic acid in GlycoForte™ for hydration.
Humectant · large polysaccharide
Small and large, on purpose
Glycolic acid is the smallest AHA. Hyaluronic acid is a long, large molecule that can't move far into skin. Instead it binds water at the surface. One works deeper in the outer layers, the other hydrates on top.
Buffered at low pH
GlycoForte™ is pH-buffered, kept low enough for glycolic acid to stay active and balanced for comfort.
