10 Percent Glycolic Acid Serum Benefits Ingredients Usage
The wonderful
Glycolic acid essence, which contains up to 100% glycolic acid, has outstanding efficacy, unique ingredients, and exquisite usage.
Its effect is significant. First, it can brighten the skin. Glycolic acid can accelerate the metabolism of keratin, so that the deposited old waste keratin falls off, and the skin regains its luster, like a dusty pearl that regains its radiance. Second, it helps improve skin quality. It can penetrate deep into the shallow layers of the skin, stimulate the regeneration of collagen, make the skin tighter, the pores quietly shrink, and the skin is delicate and smooth. Third, it is also beneficial to some acne and acne mark problems. It can unclog clogged pores, reduce oil accumulation, relieve the growth of acne to a certain extent, and also has an effect on fading acne marks, so that the skin can reproduce a uniform color.
Looking at its ingredients, glycolic acid is the core. This ingredient has excellent hydrophilicity and keratolysis ability, which can gently loosen the connections between keratinocytes and promote keratin renewal. In addition, the essence may contain nourishing and soothing ingredients, such as sodium hyaluronate, which can hydrate and moisturize the skin, leaving the skin still hydrated and comfortable after the action of glycolic acid; or it may contain plant extracts, such as purslane extract, which can soothe the skin and reduce possible discomfort.
As for usage, beginners should first perform a local skin test. Take a small amount of essence and apply it behind the ear or on the inside of the arm. Observe for 24 hours. If there is no allergic reaction such as redness, swelling, itching, etc., it can be used on the face. For initial use, it is recommended to use it every two to three days. After cleansing and toning at night, take an appropriate amount of essence and apply it evenly to the face, avoiding the skin around the eyes, gently massage until fully absorbed, and then proceed to normal moisturizing steps. After the skin gets used to it, you can gradually increase the frequency of use to once a day. During use, be sure to do a good job of sun protection. Because glycolic acid makes the skin more vulnerable to ultraviolet rays, you should apply sunscreen during the day and try to shade it when you go out. In this way, the skin can be protected by glycolic acid essence and increasingly glow with healthy beauty.
