Chemical exfoliates are a topical bio engineered ingredient that can dissolve the glue like substance that holds the dead cells together. Most chemical exfoliates use either Alpha Hydroxy Acids or Beta Hydroxy Acids. This type of exfoliation is applied to the skin then rinsed off. You do not “scrub” to enjoy the benefits. The “chemical” does the work.

BENEV Glycolic Exfoliating Gel 7.5% 2 oz
Alpha-Hydroxy Acids are water-based, nontoxic, naturally occurring substances found in a variety of fruits, such as grapes, apples and sugar cane. They are also commonly known as Glycolic, Citric, Malic, Lactic and Pyruvic Acids. The major component of Glycolic Exfoliating Gel is Glycolic Acid. Glycolic Acid is a thorough exfoliator capable of penetrating into the deeper layers of the skin to increase the rate of dead cell shedding, new skin cell production, and collagen formation.

Enzymes work by dissolving the dead tissue. The enzymes are molecules that catalyze chemical reactions of other substances. The product is applied then washed off. You do not manually “scrub” your skin. The enzyme does the work for you.

You have three choices: manually scrub off the dead cells, dissolve the glue like substance that holds the dead cells together with chemicals or dissolve the dead tissue with enzymes. They all work equally well. I prefer to exfoliate manually because it feels good to scrub my face.
I was absolutely amazed at the results of such an inexpensive and simple process had on my skin. Not only is my facial skin benefiting, but my elbows and feet are too. Look and feel younger, you deserve it.
