    exfoliates skin by breaking down bonds between dead cells

    Glycolic Acid, also known as hydroxyacetic acid, is a type of alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) commonly used in skincare products for its exfoliating properties. It works by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to be easily removed and promoting the regeneration of new skin cells. This can help improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and treat acne.
