New subscriber. You did a great job-thank you for breaking this down.

Great video Dr Dani! Useful and timely info for sure as I was just searching for some glycolic products to try! Thanks and have a fabulous weekend! 😃 Pam

Thanks for the great info Dani, very clear and easy to understand.

1:52 Product info starts.

Awesome information!👍 thank you for sharing.

Very informative video Dani ❤️ xx

Dr. Dani, Thank you very much for this informative information. I really appreciate it. Also thank you for the links and the different price points. I enjoy that you are very direct and to the point. If I was in the Texas area I would definitely use your recommendation to your derm. Hope your having a great day. 🌸

Love your educational videos. Learning about quality active ingredients will be helpful when selecting products that tend to want to sell name brands when ingredients should be the focus.

Love your videos. i like your taste in application as well as color choices. Thanks for the tips. I struggle with a lot of anti wrinkle products because i still have oily skin even though i am 45 and went through menapause very early. Thanks again and keep up the great work.

Dani, What a great video about Glycolic Acid! Clear, concise and informative! I also appreciate that you explained an expensive product is not necessarily better than an inexpensive one. I purchased The Microdelivery Exfoliating Facial Wash that you suggested during the Ulta Sale and I really like it. Lastly, I also purchased on your recommendation the CLARINS Exfoliating Cleanser at TJ Maxx the 4.3 oz for $19.99. TJ Maxx and Marshall's seem to be getting in some really nice high end products for very reasonable prices. I recommend you taking a look in person or online. Thank you for all your honest and hard work!

Thank you for explaining how glycolic acid works and the possible side effects.

Love this series

Love the Ordinary AHA BHA peel. It’s purple in color and looks wicked creepy on the skin but I love how wonderful my face looks. Great video Dr Dani!!!

I had to subscribe you’re awsome . Thank you for sharing your time to inform us it’s very appreciated...

Love it. Another good information video. Thank you so much Dani.

Love your videos! This one is no exception! Great info, super helpful and useful!

Great video Dani!! I agree! Less expensive in this case can be just as effective!! Love the Alpha Hydrox brand!!

Thanks for taking the time to put this together. I appreciate your approach of breaking down a topic and providing specific information about an ingredient. I was surprised when you said AHAs are effective at breaking down sebum and clearing out pores. Since (as you mentioned) it is water soluble and therefore doesn’t penetrate oil, I understood it was not effective at exfoliating below the surface but particularly good at surface exfoliation of fine lines and discoloration. I’ve always heard BHA, which is oil soluble, discussed as the exfoliant most effective for oily skin and acne because it can penetrate oil congested pores and help clear them out. I use glycolic or lactic acid most of the year for my sensitive, dryish skin but during the summer I switch to a BHA because my skin can get pretty oily. I’m so glad you mentioned that effective AHAs can be found at various prices. I have used and like some of the Alpha products you list. They are all fragrance free which is one less irritant to worry about. I’m currently using Derma E’s overnight peel which is a 5% AHA (a mixture of glycolic and lactic acids) that costs less than $20. The main thing I look at (besides the ingredients) is the ph of the product. I’ve read anything above a ph of 4 is not going to be very effective at these lower percentages. There are some expensive creams with AHA or BHA but the ph is too high for effective exfoliation. I’m looking forward to watching more of your skincare series.

Thanks for this informative video=) You have gorgeous skin btw!! For years I have used the Apha Hydrox BODY lotion on my FACE 2x a week. It's strong & as you probably know any AHA gets stronger with age. I get the body lotion because it's a bigger quantity for the price. I have fairly sensitive skin, but I have never had a problem with this product. I also love their cleanser

P.S Loving your videos - thanks!!

I subscribed because you are so polite. :) thanks for this information. I just bought the roller Haha forget the name it's on my fridge and bought the glycolic acid here is to hoping
