Glycolic acid is stronger than those fruit acids you buy off the counter. It does reduce fine lines but dont expect dramatic difference. However, frequent peeling will cause the skin to become thinner and more sensitive. You end up getting more sun spots and blemishes.





Depending on your skin and your daily skincare regime, the effect can last for about 2 weeks. However, for some people, results last longer. Say about 3-4 weeks.
