Phytic acid is best known for its powerful exfoliant abilities. It mildly resurfaces your skin for a smoother, more even tone. Phytic acid is rich in antioxidants which neutralise stressors that cause wrinkles and dryness. These antioxidants can brighten pigmentation to minimise dark spots, age spots, or sun damage.
Phytic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) found in cereal, rice, and seeds. It's milder than other acids but still acts as a chemical exfoliant. What makes phytic acid different is its antioxidant properties. They overpower the exfoliating agent just enough that it doesn't irritate like other AHAs.
People who have skin that's too sensitive for other acids (such as lactic or hyaluronic acid) can give phytic acid a try. It still offers smoothing effects without as much potential for irritation.
