Cosmetic acids let you smooth skin and shrink pores without scrubbing. Rachel Marie Walsh reports.

Showing your skin’s natural texture on Instagram is a thing these days — a celeb-led trend. You may have seen Hailey Bieber share her regimen on Instagram but how does Jennifer Lopez look so flawless in high res? And who knew Victoria Beckham has a face full of freckles? Refining the skin’s surface until pores don’t show is not a personal goal for everyone. There’s certainly more to life than posting extreme close-ups of your face online and no one actually needs to exfoliate. Your skin renews its surface naturally every 28 days and it is not harmful to leave it alone. The acids involved in speeding things up can be so confusing. If you are interested in that starry glow, however, you might want to try FAME.
