Ammonium Glycolate
AHA
AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) are water-soluble acids that gently dissolve dead skin cells on the surface, revealing brighter, smoother skin. Great for dry or sun-damaged skin, but always use SPF when using AHAs.
Explained
Ammonium glycolate is a salt of glycolic acid, a well-known AHA. It is mainly used as a pH adjuster to keep products in their ideal range (around 3-4).
This ingredient also offers a gentle exfoliation and is more gentle than glycolic acid.
