An alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that works on the skin's surface — one of the most effective ways to address texture and dullness.
Glycolic acid is a water-soluble AHA that exfoliates the skin's surface, helping shed the buildup of dead skin cells that leaves complexions looking dull, rough, or congested.
