I used Glycolic Acid On My Very Brown Skin or Say "Skin of Colour" | Skincare Myths vs Facts

Is Glycolic Acid Good For Brown Skin or skin of color or even black skin? To answer that question best its important to understand Glycolic acid better and its effect on skin of color or brown indian skin. A lot of questions came from the community about the safety of using glycolic acid on brown skin, or Indian skin or skin of color. My experiment with glycolic acid started a few years back in a doctors office and then in my home. Some of the most popular AHAs in today’s skincare include lactic, glycolic, kojic and mandelic acid, among others. Salicylic acid, another common acid, is actually a beta hydroxy acid, delivering the same benefits as AHAs but in a gentler concentration. Today we’ll be focusing on one of the most common over-the-counter AHAs, glycolic acid. WHAT IS GLYCOLIC ACID? Glycolic acid is an AHA sourced from sugarcane, and is known for its anti-acne, anti-ageing and brightening benefits. It’s also the AHA with the smallest molecular size, letting it penetrate deep into the skin barrier to exfoliate and dissolve dead skin cells. For this reason, it’s also one of the strongest AHAs. What does it do? Glycolic acid is touted to be one of the best chemical exfoliators for acne-prone skin, since it penetrates deep into the skin layers and gets rid of acne-causing bacteria as well as dissolving excess oil formation. Glycolic acid also helps the skin barrier retain moisture, thus having a hydrating effect as compared to other anti-acne actives such as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, which may have dry skin as a side effect. Glycolic acid also boosts the skin’s collagen growth, thus providing anti-ageing effects as well. What kind of products can I find it in?
