What Is Glycolic Acid and How Do You Apply It? | L'Oréal Paris

To use glycolic acid in your skincare routine, apply a leave-on glycolic acid serum to clean, dry skin at night, starting two or three nights a week, then moisturize, and wear SPF the next morning. Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that exfoliates the skin's surface to improve the look of dullness, uneven texture, and dark spots. Creator Heather Michelle walks through a full glycolic acid routine with L'Oréal Paris, built around the Revitalift 10% Pure Glycolic Acid Serum. This covers what people ask most: what glycolic acid does, how often to use it, whether to apply it before or after moisturizer, and how to handle glycolic acid and retinol in the same routine. If glycolic acid is new to you, start the treatment serum 2 or 3 nights per week and build only as your skin adjusts and the label directs, and avoid stacking other exfoliants or retinol on the same night while you are introducing it.
