Board-dermatologists share the basics on the popular skin-smoothing acid.
Michelle Lee and Jenny Bailey try a product that proves how powerful acids can be.

Sensitive skin types should look for products with low percentages of glycolic acid, specifically under 10, and use it less frequently than their instructions recommend, preferably every other week.

To avoid irritation and compromising your skin's barrier, be sure to not layer glycolic acid onto your face at the same time as, like retinol, retinoic acid, and tretinoin, Kim says. Reason being: Both glycolic acid and retinoids speed up the turnover of cells, so combining them increases one's risk of irritation and dryness, Mitchell adds. The same goes for physical or manual exfoliants, such as scrubs.
