Abstract
Provided are compositions suitable for treating acne, disrupting a biofilm, and/or killing bacteria contained in a biofilm. Certain compositions comprise a. about 0.1 wt. % to about 7.5 wt. % glycolic acid; b. about 0.1 wt. % to about 5 wt. % gluconolactone; c. about 0.1 wt. % to about 5 wt. % mandelic acid d. a glycol; e. a salt-tolerant thickening polymer, wherein the total amount of glycolic acid, gluconolactone and mandelic acid is less than about 15 wt. % of the total composition.
