Glycolic Acid vs. Lactic Acid: Which Is Better for Dark Spots?
Description
In this skincare Q and A, dermatologist Dr. Dray answers questions from her followers about exfoliating acids, tretinoin, skin barrier care, wound dressings, humidifiers, and isotretinoin prescribed through direct-to-consumer telehealth services.
Can 12% glycolic acid or 12% lactic acid help with friction-related hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone? Is it necessary to seal in AmLactin or tretinoin with an occlusive moisturizer? Can adding glycerin to a humidifier improve skin hydration? What should people with sensitive skin or suspected adhesive allergies use to cover wounds? Dr. Dray also discusses concerns surrounding online isotretinoin prescriptions, patient safety, medical screening, and the marketing of prescription skincare treatments.
This dermatologist Q and A explores practical, evidence-informed skincare advice and helps clarify common questions about skincare ingredients, skin irritation, wound care, and prescription acne treatments.
