Glycolic acid is one of the most popular alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) in skincare. Known for its ability to exfoliate, fade dark spots, and smooth fine lines, it's ideal for those looking to refresh their skin naturally.
While glycolic acid can transform your skin, using it the wrong way can cause irritation or damage. The video above breaks down common mistakes to avoid so your skin stays happy and glowing.
Who Should Use Glycolic Acid?
- Those with acne-prone or textured skin
- People looking to fade dark spots or sun damage
- Anyone noticing fine lines or uneven tone
- Oily and combination skin types
✨ PoreMORE PRO TIP
