PureTech Scientific Glypure® GL is a new, patented, “non-acid acid” form of glycolic acid for cosmetic applications. It is a cyclic diester called Glycolide which hydrolyzes upon exposure to moisture in the skin, generating glycolic acid in-situ. Delivery in anhydrous formulations ensures 100% of the active ingredient is available for utilization in the skin, improving formulation efficiency. Glypure® GL clinical studies demonstrate significant wrinkle reduction, and improved smoothness, elasticity, and moisture content of the skin.
