Can AHAs cause light spots and blotchy skin?

April 1, 2019
Asked By:cy51091 in Charlotte, NC

I just started using a daily face wipe pad that has glycolic acid, salic acid, and lactic acid in it. I'm not sure, but for some reason I feel like my skin is blotchy on the sides of my face and there are two light spots on the bridge if my nose. I 've only used the pads a couple of times. Is it possible the pads could be causing this? Or could I just be looking at my face more closely? The pads are only about 7% glycolic acid
