Why do I have more blemishes when using glycolic acid?

Glycolic acid is the AHA of choice. This small molecular size makes it effective in removing the build-up of dead cells on the surface of the skin. You may experience more blemishes for a period of time when beginning to use NeoStrata products with glycolic acid, as your pores are not completely unclogged causing the blemishes to appear. The solution is to continue using the glycolic acid products and your skin will normalize.
