How Do the Pumpkin Peel Ingredients Work?

The primary action of AHAs lies in their keratolytic ability-they weakens bonds that hold dead skin cells together. When these bonds are weakened, the dead cells can be shed from the surface of the skin, resulting in the skin that appears fresher, smoother and younger.
