About Glytone

In 1943, the properties and benefits of Glycolic Acid were examined when two pharmacists and a dermatologist came together to formulate skincare products with skin rejuvenation in mind. By 1984, the usefulness of Glycolic Acid was proven, it was found that this acid could improve skin health by addressing skin concerns by skin type.

This is where the innovation of Precision Free Acid Value technology began. Precision Free Acid Value, or PFAV™, is the amount of unbuffered Glycolic Acid bioavailable for the skin. Unbuffered Glycolic Acid is a form of glycolic acid where the PH level is not adjusted, this makes for a formulation that will produce faster results. With the PFAV technology, this formulation can resurface, moisturize, and polish skin.

What is the difference between hyaluronic acid, salicylic acid, and glycolic acid?

Glycolic acid exfoliates the surface layer of the skin and prevents dead skin cells from trapping pores. It also reduces fine lines and wrinkles. This is a perfect acid for all skin types.

Salicylic acid can exfoliate inside a pore, loosen clogged pores, and acts as an anti-inflammatory making it useful to those who have oily skin.

Hyaluronic acid hydrates and attracts water molecules to the skin's surface which improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This is suitable for all skin types, especially oily or acne-prone skin.
