I have always kept some AHA around as a secret weapon. I use it for back acne, spot treatment, and as an overall moisturizer that takes my skin from clear to perfect. Alpha hydroxy acid powerfully exfoliates and helps bring new skin cells to the surface, which can most definitely help the complexion appear smoother. Recently, I decided to make this 10% glycolic acid so we would have the best quality AHA at a good price. I made sure it is a light feeling cream which goes on clear and spreads easily. And I added lichochalcone, a soothing licorice root extract which helps calm acne-prone skin. As always, it is fragrance-free and dye-free. I can't live without it.
