Discussion on Glycolic Acid and Stretch Marks
The beauty of the husband's skin is admired by everyone. Stretch marks often disturb the smoothness of the woman's postpartum skin. Recently, glycolic acid has attracted much attention in improving stretch marks.
Glycolic acid is a type of fruit acid, with small molecules that can quickly penetrate the surface of the skin. Its effect on the skin is to promote the renewal of the stratum corneum. For those who cover the stratum corneum, the skin is protected outside. If the renewal is slow, the complexion will be dull and the texture will be rough. Glycolic acid can make the old cuticle fall off in an orderly manner, making the skin glow and clean again. At stretch marks, it can make the texture of the disordered skin gradually regular.
Furthermore, glycolic acid can stimulate the production of collagen. Collagen is the backbone of the skin, supporting the skin, making it full and elastic. During pregnancy, the abdominal skin is stretched due to the growing fetus, and collagen fibers are broken, causing stretch marks. Glycolic acid can stimulate skin cells, promote the synthesis of more collagen, repair broken fibers, and reduce the color and shape of stretch marks.
When using glycolic acid, you should also be cautious. Because it is irritating, sensitive skin may cause discomfort, such as redness and tingling. Therefore, when using it for the first time, it is recommended to try it before a small area of skin to detect any adverse reactions. And the concentration and frequency of use should be determined according to the skin's tolerance.
In short, 20% glycolic acid has the potential to improve stretch marks. To achieve the best effect and keep the skin healthy, use it cautiously according to scientific methods.
