What does Glycolic Acid do?

Produces a mild ketatolytic action
Removes stratum corneum and unplugs clogged pores
Causes basal cell carcinoma
Promotes malignant growths

The correct answer is: Removes stratum corneum and unplugs clogged pores

Glycolic Acid works to reduce hyperpigmentation and stimulate collagen production in the skin. The other options are incorrect because glycolic acid does not have any association with ketatolytic action or basal cell carcinoma. It also does not promote any malignant growths, making option D incorrect. The main function of glycolic acid is to exfoliate the top layer of the skin, which helps in removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
