On the relationship between glycolic acid and acne
There is glycolic acid in the world, which is often involved in skin care, but there are different opinions on its relationship with acne.

Or glycolic acid can cause acne. Because glycolic acid has the ability to exfoliate to a certain extent, when it is first used, the skin may not be able to adapt to it, and the rhythm of keratin metabolism at the mouth of the hair follicle is disordered. Keratinocytes shed too quickly, which is easy to accumulate in the mouth of the hair follicle, hindering the normal excretion of sebum, and then becomes a hotbed for the growth of acne. And glycolic acid may stimulate the skin, making the sebaceous glands secrete more vigorously, gushing a large amount of oil, interacting with the microorganisms in the hair follicle, aggravating the

However, there are also opinions that glycolic acid can help improve acne. Glycolic acid can effectively loosen the connection between keratinocytes, make the aging stratum corneum fall off smoothly, dredge the hair follicle mouth, and make sebum flow out smoothly, not easy to block. At the same time, glycolic acid can adjust the acid-base balance of the skin, create an environment that is not suitable for the growth of harmful bacteria such as Propionibacterium acne, and thus inhibit inflammation. Long-term and moderate use can restore the skin's metabolism to normal, enhance the skin's own repair ability, and gradually slow down the appearance of acne.

From this perspective, the relationship between glycolic acid and acne cannot be hidden. The key lies in the rational use, according to the individual skin characteristics, control the concentration and frequency of use, in order to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so that glycolic acid can be used effectively in skin care, rather than simply increasing the trouble of acne.
