For all skin types, incorporating a glycolic acid cleanser into your daily routine can yield remarkable results. Among the plethora of chemical exfoliants available, glycolic acid stands out as both universally effective and beloved. This alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), derived from sugarcane, offers a multitude of benefits that work on various layers of the skin. As one of the most potent AHAs, glycolic acid effectively exfoliates the surface while simultaneously stimulating deeper collagen production.
In essence, it helps to fade spots and even skin tone, while also reducing the appearance of fine lines over time.
