Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
Glyaha contains 10% glycolic acid.Glycolic acid helps acne prone skin by exfoliating dead skin cells from the surface. This in turn helps in two ways:
It removes dark pimple marks and prevents clogging of pores.
So glycolic acid is good for preventing acne as well as removing acne scars.
Glycolic acid even in low concentration can cause irritation,reddening and skin damage,if not used properly.
If you don't have acne any more,avoid using Glyaha cream.
