How Michelle Doherty overcame her skin problems and launched skincare business Alpha-H.

The BBC's weekly The Boss series profiles different business leaders from around the world. This week we speak to Michelle Doherty, founder and boss of skincare business Alpha-H.

But nothing worked, and some of the harsher treatments only worsened the problem and her self esteem, as the acne persisted from when she was 14 to nearly 28. When she was 27 Michelle says she finally discovered a cosmetics ingredient that alleviated her acne, and made her skin look better - glycolic acid.

But after trying a few products that contained the acid, and seeing first-hand its positive effect, Michelle was inspired to try to start her own skincare brand based around the ingredient. "I'd be working from the home garage in Monterey Keys, in Queensland," she says."I'd dispense products from sauce bottles, before wrapping them, and taking them to the post office [to be mailed out]."
