Glycolic acid, the smallest of the alpha hydroxy acids
Glycolic acid has the lowest molecular weight in the AHA family, so it penetrates faster than lactic or mandelic acid and moves quickly on the look of rough texture and dullness. That speed is also why it can sting on compromised skin. Format matters enormously here: Revision Skincare Brightening Facial Wash and SkinBetter Science Refining Foam Cleanser rinse away in seconds, while SkinCeuticals Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight, AlphaRet Exfoliating Peel Pads and AlphaRet Overnight Cream stay on all night. SkinBetter Science and SkinCeuticals lead this category on our shelf.
Can you use glycolic acid with retinol?
In separate products, usually on alternating nights. Several formulas here already combine the two in one buffered base, which is generally the easier way to run both.
