Looking for a way to get your skin clear, healthy looking and well toned? Consider using a glycolic acid product like a glycolic acid wash.

A glycolic acid wash will have some concentration of glycolic acid and will provide the many benefits that glycolic acid can provide, but without the inconvenience of heading to a doctor’s or aesthetician’s office.

What is glycolic acid?

Glycolic acid is part of the alpha hydroxyl family of acids. It’s a natural product derived from sugar cane and is therefore a fruit acid. It can be found in lower concentration, like a 3% concentration, or much higher concentration like the 30% you might get in a peel that is applied professionally.

Most products you can buy over the counter are found in lower concentrations, usually ranging from that 3% low to up to about 10%. The best concentration is generally seen as 8 to 10% for over the counter glycolic acid cleansers and wash products.

Glycolic acid provides a wide array of benefits to people with varying degrees of skin problems. Those with acne problems or very oily skin will find that the glycolic acid will work to soothe and mellow the skin, regulating the PH balance and clearing up the skin. Those with dry skin often find that the gentle sloughing of the top layer of the skin helps their dry skin hold a moisturizing product better.

Finally, glycolic acid is a great product to use for anti aging products. It can help to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

How can a glycolic acid wash be helpful?

If you suffer from acne or oily skin, a glycolic acid wash can provide what other cleansers or washes might not provide – a gentle clearing of the skin without drying it out. Many cleansers designed for those with oily skin or acne are often quite drying and that just leaves you with a different problem. Glycolic acid washes are gentler and often leave the skin soft, but not oily, and less prone to acne, but not dried out.

If you are looking for a product that will help with anti aging products, you might find that over a period of time (glycolic acid won’t work immediately for anti aging benefits, but over a period of time and regular use), your fine line and wrinkles are diminished. If you choose a product that also contains Vitamin A (Retinol), you are protecting the skin for the future as well.

How to use a glycolic acid wash

A glycolic wash is simply a cleanser that is made with a particular concentration of glycolic acid. As we mentioned before the ideal concentration is usually 8 to 10 percent. You apply a wash to your skin and let it sit for a period of time. Glycolic acid usually needs to be on the skin for a short period of time for it to be beneficial.

There’s also an element of massaging that’s necessary. Some glycolic acid washes will recommend that you massage the wash into your skin for up to a minute, some even more. The key is to follow the directions on the package, as different washes will contain different ingredients that will need different care and attention on your skin.

As with any skincare or cosmetic product, you might have to try more than one product before you find one that is ideal for your particular skin. One might have too high a concentration of glycolic acid and irritate your skin, while another might have too low a concentration and not provide you any benefits. Be prepared to follow the directions on any glycolic acid wash product you buy and be willing to make changes if necessary.

Finding a good moisturizer can be tough. You want to find one that won’t clog your pores (if you have oily skin) or will provide enough moisture to keep your very dry skin properly moisturized.

But there can be an overwhelming section of moisturizers as people clamor more and more these days for the perfect anti aging product.

The good news is that glycolic acid moisturizers are good for all types of skin and can provide the various types of care you require. Learning how to select and use one is all you need to worry about.

What is a glycolic acid moisturizer?

A glycolic acid moisturizer is a moisturizer that contains the beneficial compound glycolic acid. Glycolic acid is a naturally derived substance from the sugar cane plant. It naturally exfoliates the skin and removes dead skin cells so new ones can take their place. Glycolic acid is added to a wide variety of products, from cleansers and toners to acid peels.

A glycolic acid moisturizer will contain some concentration of glycolic acid. That is, glycolic acid can be found in small concentrations of only 3% or as much as 30% in some products. Most moisturizers will provide a concentration somewhere between 10 and 20 percent.

Some glycolic acid moisturizers are time-release products, so your skin gets a regular dose of glycolic acid throughout the day or night.

What to look for in a glycolic acid moisturizer

Consider first why you want to use a glycolic acid moisturizer. If it’s because you have dry skin, make sure that the moisturizer you choose has a medium dose of glycolic acid, right around 10%. If you are worried about wrinkles, a concentration of about 10 to 12 percent is also ideal. If you have oily skin and you are looking for a moisturizer that will provide you some basic moisturizing benefits, but also acne control, look for a moisturizer that has a lightly higher concentration of glycolic acid.

When you read the list of ingredients on the bottle of glycolic acid moisturizer, pay attention to where on the list of ingredients glycolic acid is listed. If it’s after several other ingredients, the concentration might not be as high as you want. Often, in a moisturizer that contains a good dose of glycolic acid, glycolic acid will be listed right after the first ingredient – water.

Use and precautions

When you first begin using any glycolic acid product, you want to start out slowly. Some people will find that they just can’t use any glycolic products because their skin is just too sensitive. However, most people will find that they have at least a mild reaction the first time they use glycolic acid. Eventually, those reactions will go away completely.

So when you first start using your glycolic acid moisturizer, use it only at night and if you have purchased one with a higher concentration of glycolic acid, use it only every other night. If your skin is doing well, use the moisturizer every night and do that for up to a month. Once your skin has adjusted and you know that you will have no negative reactions to the glycolic acid, switch to using the moisturizer at night and during the day under your makeup.

If the glycolic acid moisturizer you have chosen does not contain sunscreen, be sure to wear some during the day (even if it’s found in your face makeup). Glycolic acid makes the skin much more sensitive to the sun and your skin can be damaged by the sun if you don’t take precautions.
