texturebrighteningacne
Smallest molecular weight AHA — deepest penetration, most effective exfoliant, most likely to irritate. Derived from sugar cane. Dissolves the protein bonds holding dead skin cells together. At 5–10%, clinically proven to improve texture, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation. Some By Mi's 30 Days Miracle Toner brought glycolic acid to accessible price points.
