2) Glycolic acid

There are several different glycolic acid products you can buy over-the-counter, including cleansers, toners, creams, and gels. If you’re interested in trying glycolic acid at home but want to learn more about how it works first, talk with your dermatologist about getting a prescription for it or another professional-grade OTC treatment option (like retinol).

3) Pumpkin seed oil
