Glycolic acid is a fruit acid and the like, which can gently exfoliate, smooth pores, promote skin metabolism, make the skin delicate and smooth, and improve skin texture.

If you want to match it, you should first consider your own skin type. Those with strong skin tolerance may try it. When using it for the first time, it is recommended to try it in a small range and at a low concentration to observe the skin's reaction. If there is no abnormality, you can gradually expand the scope of use and increase the frequency of use.
