Not really.... Salicylic acid is a better option for that....😊

You can't use glycolic acid on regular basis.. Just buy 5% glycolic acid serum or cream and apply only once or twice a week. This acid is too strong so, make sure your skin barrier is not damaged or broken before applying it.

Thankyou so much for your suggestion 😊

Been Using 8% since 3yrs,and can tell that it works wonders

@@sanaluv4487 I used a serum from L'OREAL and It's 1% not knowing I should apply just one drop on each quarter of my face and I applied it in big amounts twice daily but I was just fine , no irritated skin but also I didn't get rid of the brown spots after curing acnes 😢 I thought I should apply big amount But if I applied small drops how long it would take to heal ? 😢

@@shree173 Can you tell me what are you using ? A serum or cream or facial cleanser ? What brand ?

Idk, mine also has that, under twenty, than foam one, and they say to use it daily morning and evening, never had issues and had more pimples when I finished the whole thing.

You're washing it off tho, listen to your skin❤❤❤❤❤

don't apply ordinary glycolic acid toner onto your face as it is very strong. it is good for knees and elbows but not for face skin. use a cream version instead. I use medicated cream "Glyco 6" which contains 6% glycolic acid. i use it once a week at night, no irritation, no purging. and it made my rough skin so smooth in just two weeks I was so pleasantly surprised. sunscreen is a must.

​@flaneur8858 So Everything dosen't work for Everyone, Ordinary Glycolic acid is ony 7% and it's good for most people, I Love it follow up w/ amino acids, moisturizer, I only use maybe twice a week ❤❤❤❤

@@walkingbyfaith2885 true...but glycolic acid is not good for everyone especially the people of color as it can be a bit harsh and can lead to hyperpigmentation. Ordinary glycolic acid toner is a little stronger compared to the cream version. And I feel people who are new to glycolic acid should always start with a lower percentage to avoid any damage and can increase the strength overtime. I am glad your skin loves the ordinary toner...goodluck with your skin journey.

After cleansing, before moisturizer. You should always use oil-based products (like moisturizer) last, because water-based products are repelled by the oily ones.

5-8%

Go for 8% Minimalist Glycolic acid toner it has bamboo water so no risk... but use Sun cream before exposing ur skin to sun after using glycolic acid.... its best for beginners use at night

​@@Dhr3131agreed,been using it since 3yrs

Use Cetaphil Cleanser bestt🤌🤌

hyperpigmentation is something which can't be reduced by just one acid. you need few acids to Target it. reducing it is a very slow process just be consistent and patient with your skincare. firstly be consistent with your SPF. apply daily spf 50 on both your face and neck. also know that the skin on the neck is thinner than the face. glycolic acid 10% is too harsh for the face and neck. using harsh products on pigmented skin will worsen hyperpigmentation. u can use glycolic acid upto 6% on your face and neck that too only once a week at night. 'less is more' is the mantra. no acid is a magic potion which can cure hyperpigmentation in a few months time. be patient and consistent. during day time use vitamin c on dry face after cleansing. then apply your moisturizer and then sunscreen. sunscreen along with vitamin c will not only brighten your skin, but will protect your skin from harmful UV rays and sun damage which is the cause of hyperpigmentation. at night use niacinamide serum (5%) daily as it calms the face and is good for uneven skin tone. use tretinoin thrice a week it is good for anti ageing and fights pigmentation too. once a week use an exfoliant - glycolic acid/lactic acid/ mandelic acid. glycolic acid works very fast as it has the smallest molecule which deeply penetrates into the skin. I use 6% glyco 6 cream once a week at night with a moisturizer. you can also use alpha arbutin (2%) serum along with niacinamide (5%) at night which too reduces hyperpigmentation. niacinamide can be paired with both tretinoin and glycolic acid too. moisturizer your neck too. hope it helps. firstly, protect your skin from sun damage by using sunscreen. secondly, use serums which can fight pigmentation ( vitamin c, niacinamide, alpha arbutin, kojic acid) thirdly, use an exfoliant once a week ( glycolic acid/lactic acid/mandelic acid) fourthly, use an anti ageing cream ( retinol/tretinoin/differin) twice or thrice a week only at night.

​@@flaneur8858wow great and very informative and answer. I'll that some note, thank you for sharing your wisdom. It seems you are experienced person. I wish I knew how to treat my combination and acne prone skin to improve it, I've never been educated how to take care of it, and only told in my teens that it will get better when I grow and get married (sexual relationship was meant by that😂) Didn't work for me 😂

​​@@flaneur8858 Hi ,I also want to use these products for darkspots and brightening my skin .but problem is I cannot afford these because these products r very expensive in my country plus also fake products r avaible,so I use nothing on face .the moisturizer that I was usiing was fake too.now nothing I use on face😢.but like other girls I want to use.my wish to use skin Care products but nobody help me in this world.rich people also don't help needy peoples.

god. i never expect to get this answer. this is so helpful. i will try to follow your advice. thank you so so much😢❤ ​@@flaneur8858

​@@flaneur8858for daily i'm using hyaluronic acid as toner, niacinamide (5%) as moisturizer, and spf 50 sunscreen. glycolic acid 10% 2 times a week. is that okay? i can't find 6% glycolic acid like the ordinary in my country, so far the lowest is 1%/2%, which is in moisturizer.

Alpha arbutin day and glycolic in the night

Yes you can. Even Glycolic acid in lower concentration can give hydration.

@@davidsentosa779 Thank you

Use hyaluronic acid for dry skin. It hydrates your skin.

Cause u racist bruh

tretinoin is used as a maintenance cream for anti ageing. it also slightly exfoliated the skin but it is v slow. it should be used twice or thrice a week. glycolic acid is used as a exfoliant which removes dead skin and will make your skin smooth and will show results fastest. however it should be used only once a week only at night. I use both. when used consistently glycolic acid will reduce fine lines too. I think you should use both if your concern is anti ageing.

​​@@flaneur8858when I see these kind of videos related to skin,really wish to use these but I cannot ?...really become disappointed?

I’m also a brown Mexican but my skin has always been clear but I mainly bought this product for my face but I tested it on my knees first and it just darkened them they’re super dark compared to me and they make me insecure

You can't use glycolic acid which has more than 5% concentration since it is too strong. I suggest you use glycolic acid cream at night only instead of serum and wear 50+++ SPF at a day time (mandatory). If this doesn't help, try Kojic acid and alpha arbutin cream or serum.

@@sanaluv4487 thank you🤍 I’m very insecure of my burnt elbows and knees due to glycolic acid that burnt them
