It supports collagen production in the skin, thus providing a firmer, more youthful appearance. It helps to even out skin tone, especially beneficial for skin problems such as sun spots, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. It is frequently found in products such as spot-removing creams and serums. Glycolic acid prevents acne formation by clearing dead cells that clog pores.
