  7. 15. Having the largest molecular structure, is very gentle yet has been found to be effective to improve overall skin tone and texture and helpful in treating oily and problematic skin.
Down
  1. 1. Provide gentle exfoliation and dissolve keratin proteins within dead skin cells on the surface to make skin softer and smoother, and to help maintain the hydration level of the epidermis.

  3. 6. are naturally occurring acids derived from fruit, nuts, milk, or sugars.
  4. 7. Has larger molecular structure, it is gentler and potentially less irritating than glycolic acid.
