There are no side effects when used as directed on the bottle, except for some sensitive to the sun after its use. It is derived from sugar cane, so it can be considered a natural product. Citric acid falls under the same classification as glycolic acid. In high concentration, 70% or more, it is extremely dangerous for the skin. The government considers any product with 10 % or more of glycolic to be hazardous. This acid can help to get rid of acne and other skin problems since it is capable of penetrating the skin. Other products cannot penetrate your skin. Your skin is made up of three layers, the epidermis, the dermis and the subcutaneous tissue. The epidermis is the outer skin made up of layers of individual dead cells. Over time, these dead cells shed. Acne glycolic acid helps shed these dead cells quicker. Some people use 30 % or even 50% glycolic acid for skin rejuvenation. They use it 4-6 minutes on their face then rinse of with a neutralizer. They claim winkles, scars and sun spots are diminished and that their skin becomes tighter and clearer. The use it up to three weeks daily, then they stop for a rest for a week. Some found that 30 % is safer to use than 50 %. Despite the controversy, the use of acne glycolic acid has been found to be effective in cleaning dead skin cells from the skin’s surface, provided it used correctly. It must be used in the proper concentration, 10% or less, in products for exfoliation and moisturizing. Using acne glycolic acid for acne will clean and cleanse your facial pores. In removing dead skin from the pores and unplugging them, natural accumulating sebum can be released normally from the pores onto the skin.
