Does glycolic acid cause you to break out when you use it initially?!
Question: I am using the Glytone line of glycolic acid products, and just started using them about 4 days ago. I have noticed small bumps, like clogged pores, on my forehead since I started using the products. Is this normal? Will it go away on its own after a few weeks, or do I need to actually extract all the clogged pores (pop the zits)?

It is normal to experience breakouts when using an acid peel as it is lifting impurities and congestion. It is actually good to see a reaction as it is effectively working. Remember to consider your schedule whenever you have a chemical peel or treatment as you will want to plan on breakout period before skin clears.
