Glycolic Acid Skincare

Glycolic acid skincare products offer so many benefits including improved skin texture, reduced fine lines, fewer breakouts, exfoliation, and increased collagen production. Whether you use a glycolic acid facial, a cleanser with glycolic acid, or glycolic acid soap, you can reap these benefits with consistent use.

Because glycolic acid is a type of AHA (chemical exfoliant), the benefits of using glycolic acid soap include softer, smoother skin. Glycolic acid removes dead skin cells, so you’re left with bright, smooth, and radiant skin all over your body.

Yes! Glycolic acid products are safe for sensitive skin which is one of the main reasons we love to include glycolic acid in our skincare lineup. We will say that if you’re prone to dryness and redness, it’s best to pair your glycolic acid product with a nourishing moisturizer with skin-loving ingredients like goat milk and niacinamide.

Glycolic acid works to remove dead skin cells, enhance cell turnover (hello, anti-aging benefits!), and boost collagen production. When used regularly, you’ll begin to see fewer fine lines and wrinkles, smoother skin texture, and reduced dark spots.

Yes, you can use glycolic acid with vitamin C when applied in the right order. You’ll get the most efficacy when you apply glycolic acid products first, then follow with vitamin C. In the Beekman 1802 lineup, we suggest using our Jelly Wash glycolic acid cleanser then applying our vitamin C serum, Golden Booster for a smooth, youthful glow.

Yes, glycolic acid and niacinamide are safe to use together. Like vitamin C, it’s best to apply your glycolic acid product first then follow up with niacinamide. In this case, we’d use our glycolic acid facial peel called Potato Peel a couple times a week, then follow up with our fermented oil niacinamide serum for an ultra-nourishing next step.
