ADVICE

Skip Alcohol Toners

  • Avoid alcohol-based toners that strip skin and increase oil production.
  • Toners are generally unnecessary unless for specific uses like athletic sweat management.
ADVICE

Use Glycolic Acid Safely

  • Use glycolic acid (AHA) to exfoliate daily for texture, tone, acne, and fine lines.
  • Beware of higher concentrations bought online which can cause chemical burns.
INSIGHT

BHAs Target Oily, Acne Skin

  • BHAs like salicylic acid target oily, acne-prone skin with exfoliation, unlike AHAs which are more anti-aging.
  • Many over-the-counter and dermatologist-recommended products contain BHAs for skin clearing.
