Skin Care Review: Glycolic acid

by sandra

Rating
Excellent

Benefits
moisturizer, exfoliator

Drawbacks
it could be very irritating to your skin.

Details
My skin was very dry and I was getting sun spots. I tried Lancôme and channel skin care but didn't work for me, until I read in a book about glycolic acid or alpha hydroxyl acid. Glycolic Acid is an exfoliator. It removes the layer of dead skin on the surface your skin and bring fresh new skin to the surface. I have been using it for the last 8 years and my skin never looked like now. The specialist recommend start with a low percentage like 10% since it could be very irritating for you skin. When you look for a cream look at the percentage since with less than 10% strength don't really give your skin the benefits glycolic acid is known for, so make sure you look at the percentage.

Conclusions
I highly recommend glycolic acid cream with more than 10%
