What the gurus are saying

This glycolic acid serum earns praise for tackling rough, dry skin texture and boosting moisture content. Dermatologists recommend it as an effective way to introduce alpha hydroxy acids into a routine, and note it may help with keratosis pilaris on the face. Those with sensitive skin may want to start slowly, perhaps a few times a week, to let skin adjust to the exfoliating action.

"They also make a facial serum targeted product that is likewise very good. It's excellent for dry rough skin texture, improving moisture content, firming the skin, and tackling keratosis pilaris on the face. In fact, the serum for the face is one that I frequently recommend for improving rough and bumpy cheeks."

"If you're looking to incorporate alpha hydroxy acids into your facial skincare routine, I really like the one by Alpha Skincare, it's their Renewal Serum, and it's 14% glycolic acid. [...] I would not use this on my face more than once a week, and I would use it on a night of the week that I'm skipping my topical retinoid."
