Can I Use Ordinary Glycolic Acid on My Face
On the suitability of fruit acid for facial use
Some people doubt whether ordinary fruit acid can be applied to facial skin?

Those with fruit acid have the ability to exfoliate and promote skin metabolism. However, the facial skin is delicate, so use it with caution.

If the facial skin is healthy and the stratum corneum is thick, moderate use of fruit acid may make the skin smooth and even in color. However, excessive application may cause skin sensitivity, redness, swelling, pain, and desquamation.

For sensitive skin, special care should be taken. Sensitive skin is fragile, irritated by fruit acid, easy to cause discomfort and even inflammation.

Therefore, if you want to use ordinary fruit acid on the face, you should first examine your skin. It can be tried on a small part of the skin first to observe its reaction. If there is no discomfort, the scope of use can be gradually expanded. And the frequency of use should be slow, and the concentration should also be gradually increased from low to high. At the same time, sunscreen should not be ignored. Fruit acids make the skin more sensitive to light, accidentally protected, and easy to cause pigmentation.

In short, ordinary fruit acids can be used in the face, but they must be based on prudence and follow the skin type to achieve the effect of skin care and avoid the risk of skin damage.
