A member asked:
Would i still get the benefits of a glycolic acid aha cream of 4% if i used a self tanner about an hour after i put on the aha cream?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Glycolics Thin Skin: Glycolic acids thin the skin, so self tanning would not be advised as your skin would be thinner from the acid.
