Take a small amount of glycolic acid product and apply it to the test area, stay for a specified time (usually 2-5 minutes according to the product instructions), and then wash it off with water. Observe for 24-48 hours. If there is no discomfort such as redness, swelling, itching, and tingling in the test area, the whole face can be changed.

You can use a cotton swab or a special application tool, starting from the cheeks, and then applying it to the forehead, chin, and both sides of the nose in turn.
