Using an AHA cleanser with 10% glycolic acid can help with blackheads by acting as an exfoliator to shed dead skin cells and promote the growth of new cells. This can improve the appearance of your skin and help with acne scarring. However, it's important to monitor how your skin reacts and consult with a dermatologist if you experience any irritation or if your condition doesn't improve.
