Glycolic Acid

Uses

Glycolic acid is used in the treatment of dry skin.

How it Works

How Glycolic Acid Works Glycolic acid treats dry skin by exfoliating the skin's surface and promoting cell turnover. It penetrates the top layer of the skin, breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells and allowing them to shed more easily. This exfoliation smooths rough patches and helps the skin retain moisture more effectively, leading to improved hydration and a more radiant, refreshed appearance.

Side Effects

Common side effects of glycolic acid include application site reactions such as burning, irritation, itching, and redness.

Expert Advice

  • Follow up with a good moisturizer to help lock in hydration and prevent dryness or peeling.
  • Glycolic acid can increase sun sensitivity; therefore, apply sunscreen during the day.
  • Do not apply glycolic acid around the eyes, on broken skin, or on other particularly sensitive areas.
  • Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out, complementing the moisturizing effects of the cream.
  • For best results, use the cream consistently as part of your daily skincare routine.
  • If you have any underlying skin conditions, are pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult with a healthcare provider before starting the treatment.
