I’ve been trying to tackle my hyperpigmentation, and glycolic acid caught my interest. With sensitive combination skin, I’m always careful about introducing new products. I’ve read that glycolic acid is great for exfoliation and brightening, but I’m concerned about how it might affect my skin’s sensitivity.
Initially, I saw some positive changes after using a glycolic acid toner a few times a week. My skin felt smoother, and I noticed some of my dark spots fading. However, after a few weeks, I began experiencing redness and irritation, which made me wonder if it was doing more harm than good. It’s frustrating when a product meant to help causes unwanted effects.
I’m eager to hear from others who have used glycolic acid. Have you found it helpful for reducing hyperpigmentation? Did you encounter any sensitivity issues? What products or routines have worked well for you? Let’s exchange our experiences and tips!
