  Glycolic or lactic acid

  Posted by georgiliolev on December 26, 2015 at 5:58 pm

  Hello,
  What are the advantages of glycolic vs lactic(or citric) acid in an aqueous AHA exfoliant for oily skin?
  Is it acceptable to include ethanol if I want to incorporate salicylic acid too?

  For advantages, please refer google.com & not necessary to add ethanol as you can add solubilizers for Salicylic which would be Glycol groups e.g. PG, Butylene G, Hexylene G ….etc
  Note - 1, 2 hexandiol is preferable.
