Is glycolic acid effective at 1% concentration?
  • I am 25 with dry skin with acne breakouts. I have mostly blackheads and these weird bumps under my skin around my chin. I had have heard glycolic acid can help with both my skin problems, but I don't know much about it. I have a sample of Murad Active Radiance Serum which has a glycolic acid concentration of 1%. I have read on some websites that you need a concentration of nearly 10% to be considered effective- so I thought I would ask!

    I don't know if this would pertain or not, but benzol peroxide 10% causes my face to peel terribly...

    Also- how does glycolic acid compare with beta glucaderm?

    Thanks for your help!
  • great question, i'm also interested!!
