They work by reducing the amount of pigment (melanin) that causes the darkening of skin. Sodium Hyaluronate helps in enhancing the appearance of dry and damaged skin by reducing flaking. Lactic Acid helps to moisten dry skin. Glycolic acid works by removing the outermost layer of dead cells and provides you fresh skin.
