They may sound harsh (and conjure visions of psychedelia), but dropping acid is actually pretty great—for your skin. Whether your concern is aging, acne, or a generally dull complexion, there's an acid for that (burning sensation not included). We talked to Jamé Heskett, MD, founder of The Wellpath in New York City about these skin savers. Below, some of the best of the bunch.
Glycolic Acid
This form of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) is derived from plants or vegetables with high sugar contents, like beets and sugarcane, says Heskett. It's relatively gentle and "produces a mild peel effect, because it doesn't penetrate very deep into the skin," she adds. "It's best for a quick and easy exfoliation."
