What Causes Spider Veins On Cheeks After Withdrawal From Glycolic Acid Cleanser?
Hi there. I have been using a glycolic acid cleanser and at first experienced great results with clear, even skin tone. I have now stopped using the cleanser as I began to develop hyperpigmentation issues. To my horror, I am now developing spider veins on my cheeks and am experiencing burning. What should I do?

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Glycolic acid cleanser are very good skin agents but may have side effects including pigmentation problems when percentage concentration is too high.I will suggest you see the Dermatologist to evaluate the pigmented spots and the veins.Your Dematologist may readjust the percentage concentration of what you use and/or recommend wearing of sunscreen.
Hope this will help
Best regards
