What REVOX Says
Product Description:
REVOX B77 JUST GLYCOLIC ACID 20% is a toning solution for face and neck. Glycolic Acid is one of the most effective and commonly used Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs). Its molecules are the smallest among the AHAs, so it is able to penetrate the skin and be better absorbed. It works by breaking the bonds between old skin cells and freeing them, so they can be exfoliated. When used routinely, it helps accelerate the skin's renewal process, bringing fresh new skin to the surface, which looks younger and dewier.

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Phenoxyethanol's widespread adoption as the primary cosmetic preservative followed the phaseout of parabens from many formulations in the 2000s-2010s. despite having a comparable or better safety profile to parabens, it is often cited in 'free-from' formulations โ a consumer perception issue rather than a scientific safety concern.
