Glycolic Acid
Time to go for the Glycolic! Derived from sugarcane, Glycolic Acid is one of the most effective types of Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs).
What It Naturally Does: This do-it-all exfoliator is often used in skin care products to help improve the look of pores, smoothness, brightness and clarity while reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture.
Alpha Hydroxy Acids may increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun and risk of sunburn. It is advised to use a sunscreen, wear protective clothing and limit sun exposure while using products containing AHAs and for a week afterwards.
