The harm of glycolic acid
Although glycolic acid may be useful in various chemical things, its harm should not be underestimated.

It often causes allergies to the skin. Users initially feel itchy skin, followed by redness, and even rash. Because glycolic acid has strong activity, those with delicate skin can easily trigger an immune response and damage the skin barrier.

In the respiratory tract, its harm is also apparent. If in a closed place, the volatile gas of glycolic acid is inhaled, which can cause cough, asthma, and even chest tightness. Airway mucosa is stimulated by it, causing inflammation, which can damage the function of the lungs for a long time.

And if glycolic acid does not enter the eyes carelessly, it will cause severe pain, redness and swelling in the eyes, blurred vision in light cases; in severe cases, it can cause vision loss or even blindness. Because of its corrosive nature, it can burn the tissues of the eye.

Furthermore, if glycolic acid touches skin wounds, it will exacerbate pain, delay wound healing, and risk causing infection.

Therefore, those who use glycolic acid must be careful and take good protection to prevent its harm before it occurs.
