Not too long ago, you could ask any skincare expert which product or ingredient they’d recommend for glowing skin and nine times out of ten their answer would be some kind of exfoliating acid.
Whether you see yourself as a skincare aficionado, a novice, or somewhere in between, you’ve no doubt used — or at least heard of — one of them. Pixi’s Glow Tonic and Glossier’s Solution are just two of the many cult products you may have seen in an influencer’s #shelfie.
The two most common acids are: glycolic (known to help with skin pigmentation) and salicylic (for keeping blackheads and breakouts in check). With the promise of clear, smooth and radiant skin, it’s no wonder everyone wants in on the acid action.
