Author:Sara Spruch-FeinerPublish date:Jun 21, 2019Updated onJun 20, 2019As far as skin goals go, most of us want to glow. And there is almost no surer route to radiant, perfectly glow-y skin than adding a chemical exfoliant to your skin-care routine. Enter: glycolic acid, one of the most popular, effective and dermatologist-approved options out there.
How does it work? In essence, Dr. Idriss notes, glycolic acid "breaks down the 'glue' that holds skin cells together, therefore effectively exfoliating the most layer of skin, and in the process revealing smoother, brighter, younger looking skin." During the aging process, Dr. Marchbein explains, skin cell turnover slows down — from "approximately every 28 days in our 20s to every 40 days by the time we're in our 40s." Though the buildup of dead skin cells can make skin look dull and lackluster, "gently sloughing them away can reveal a glowing complexion."
As you shop you'll notice that this powerhouse ingredient can be found in just about every form imaginable. A good entry point for testing the glycolic acid waters gently is cleanser, advises Dr. Idriss, since it's "washed off, and doesn't 'sit' on the skin." She also recommends starting with a milder concentration of the ingredient, with around 5% glycolic acid.
