Which are the best Glycolic Acid products for my skin?

You may have noticed the buzz word Glycolic Acid being used a lot lately, or you may have even seen it being listed as a key ingredient in some of your favourite toning products!

Glycolic acid is an AHA (Alpha-Hydroxy Acid) or a ‘fruit acid’ that’s actually derived from plant sugars. This hero ingredient is loved by skincare aficionados everywhere due to it’s ability to penetrate the top layers of the skin dissolving oil, impurities and dead cells. In turn, the skin is left clear, bright and refined.
