Ingrow Go harnesses the powers of multiple actives including Glycolic Acid, an Alpha Hydroxy Acid. This AHA is a 'fruit acid' naturally occurring in sugar cane juice. It acts as a mild exfoliant to remove dry skin allowing the hair below to simply pop out above the surface of the skin where it can be easily removed. Plus the combination of antibacterial agents and anti-inflammatory ingredients means that infected pores are cleared and swelling and redness reduced.
