Glycolic acid is known for its wide application in cosmetics. It is widely used in various kinds of skin care products. It can improve the skin appearance and texture by reducing wrinkles, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation and improving many other skin conditions, including actinic keratosis, hyperkeratosis, and seborrheic keratosis etc. Glycolic acid has good and obvious whitening effect by improving metabolism of cells, so as to tender skin, makes skin soft, fine and smooth, full of elasticity and luster. It has no irration on skin.

Apart from cosmetic skin care, Glycolic acid also has application in other fields such as cleaning, food, pharmaceuticals, textile etc.
