Glycolic Acid Skincare Routine

Get a resurfacing routine built around glycolic acid, chosen by AI.

Glycolic acid is the smallest and most potent alpha hydroxy acid, derived from sugar cane. Its tiny molecular size allows it to penetrate the skin more effectively than other AHAs, making it the strongest exfoliant in the family. At low concentrations (5-10%) it gently smooths texture and boosts radiance. At higher concentrations (20-70%, used in professional peels) it can dramatically improve acne scars, deep wrinkles, and stubborn hyperpigmentation. The tradeoff is that glycolic acid increases sun sensitivity significantly, so SPF is absolutely essential.
