Glycolic Acid for Acne?

Has anyone has success using glycolic acid (AHA) to combat acne? I know it is good for aging skin, and it really sloughs away dead skin cells. I'm curious if it really works.

My Experience

After battling acne for more than 15 years, I tried a round of accutane and my skin cleared up in three months. I'd had always been afraid to try it before but I decided the risks outweighed the thoughts of keeping that condition for another 15 years. Have you considered other options or is AHA your last resort?
