While it’s easy to find glycolic acid in over-the-counter the products, in many cases the concentration of glycolic acid is too low to get the kind of results you are looking for. Face washes may have 8% to 10%, creams may have up to 15%. An at-home peel, for safety reasons, shouldn’t be more than 30% glycolic acid, while a dermatologist can offer peels with strengths up to 70%.
Most over-the-counter products, that name glycolic in their ingredient list, are very mild and neutralized which doesn't yield the results and benefits of glycolic acid. For best results use a glycolic product that is non-neutralized and formulated at medical-strength like Dermatologist's Choice. Talk to your dermatologist about how the benefits of glycolic acid can be maximized for you.
