Common questions about using glycolic acid in everyday skincare
No. Glycolic acid is an exfoliating ingredient, not a moisturiser. Even if a formula feels slightly hydrating, you should never rely on it alone. Always follow glycolic acid with a dedicated hydrating step—a serum rich in humectants and barrier-supporting ingredients—and then a moisturiser suited to your skin type.
