Glycolic Acid is an Alpha-Hydroxy Acid (AHA) – its small molecule allows it to penetrate the skin. Its main function is to exfoliate the skin by breaking the bonds between the dead skin cells. Glycolic Acid is particularly suitable for acne-prone skin as it unclogs the pores and thus helps to prevent acne and blackheads formation. Removing the dead skin cells also helps with rough skin texture, pigmentation and it helps evens out the overall skin tone
