I just bought the gylcolic acid pads to help with my spot prone adult skin and help with my fine lines(skin surface) .

Is it any good ?!?
Why do I need an SPF ?

Not sure if they’re any good, but if you apply any acids to your skin, they make it far more sensitive and prone to sun damage. Hence the need for a high SPF. I have actually been seeing recently that it is suggest everyone wears a daily high SPF product on their face, regardless of climate, acid use, etc, as it’s the number one thing you can do to help prevent premature ageing (and skin cancer, obviously).

It depends on the percentage? Is it at least 5%? The acid does make your skin more sensitive but you should be wearing SPF everyday to prevent lines and sun damage.

Your face clean should have a SPF in it! Don’t put actual sun cream on your face. Believe it or not but an oil-based cleanser will improve your acne. Research double cleansing and see what you think!

Face CREAM sorry!

Your moisturiser, or even make up depending what you use, should have an SPF factor, you don’t need to put suncream on your face.
