Glycolic acid stimulates collagen production through exfoliation and triggering a wound-healing response, improving skin firmness and elasticity. This process can potentially reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Glycolic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), is believed to stimulate collagen production by exfoliating the outer layer of the skin, triggering a wound-healing response. This process stimulates fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen, leading to increased collagen synthesis. Enhanced collagen contributes to improved skin firmness, elasticity, and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
