Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward compositional chemical name: 'glycolic' specifies the type or source and 'acid' denotes the kind of substance, so the combined meaning is the acid related to glycol. The 'X acid' naming pattern is regular and cross-linguistically common, so a learner who knows both constituents can infer it refers to a specific acid (commonly used in skincare).
Etymology
Glycolic acid comes from sugar plants like sugar cane and grapes because the glycolic part was first found in those sweet plants. As an acid, it loosens the top layer of skin to remove dead cells, so it is used to 'exfoliate' and 'brighten' the skin.
