However, recent research has discovered that chondrus crispus contains a unique polysaccharide complex that provides numerous benefits to the skin. The discovery of these polysaccharides in chondrus crispus algae began with the study of carrageenan, a type of sulfated polysaccharide extracted from the plant. Carrageenan has been used in the food industry as a thickening and stabilising agent for decades. However, as scientists began to study the properties of carrageenan more closely, they discovered that it contained a variety of bioactive compounds that could be beneficial to human health.

What is Glycolic Acid? Glycolic acid is a type of alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that is derived from sugar cane. It is a water-soluble substance that is used in skincare products due to its ability to penetrate the skin deeply and promote exfoliation. Glycolic acid works by breaking down the bonds that hold dead skin cells together on the surface of the skin, allowing them to be easily sloughed off and revealing fresher, brighter skin underneath. This exfoliating action can also stimulate collagen production and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Glycolic acid is also effective at improving skin texture, reducing the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, and helping to unclog pores. It is a popular ingredient in professional skincare treatments. What does Glycolic Acid do for my skin?
