Glycolic Acid and Asian Skin
On the relationship between glycolic acid and Asian skin
Glycolic acid is increasingly important in skin care. Asian skin has unique characteristics, and the encounter with glycolic acid is an interesting exploration.

The sign of Asian skin is yellowish in color, and the stratum corneum structure is different from that of European and American skin. Its sebaceous glands secrete or are more vigorous, and are sensitive to environmental changes, prone to inflammation. Glycolic acid, a family of fruit acids, has unique chemical and biological activities.

Glycolic acid can penetrate deep into the stratum corneum, loosen the connection between keratinocytes, and promote stratum corneum renewal. For Asian skin, this effect can help rejuvenate the skin and make the skin tone even. Because it can accelerate the exfoliation of old keratin, it has a brightening and delicate effect on dull and rough Asian skin.

However, Asian skin is slightly less tolerant to irritation. Although glycolic acid has skin care properties, if the concentration is too high or used improperly, it is easy to cause skin discomfort, such as redness and tingling. Therefore, when using glycolic acid products in Asian people, it is recommended to start with a low concentration and gradually increase it, so that the skin can gradually adapt.

In addition, glycolic acid can affect the hydration of the skin. In some parts of Asia, the climate is humid, and the skin moisture content may be relatively high. However, glycolic acid also plays a key role in moisturizing and regulating moisture. Moderate use can increase skin moisturizing ability and maintain skin water and oil balance.

To sum up, the relationship between glycolic acid and Asian skin is subtle and complex. Reasonable use can explore its skin beauty potential; otherwise, it may damage skin health. When choosing the development and use of skin care products, carefully consider the characteristics of Asian skin and the role of glycolic acid to achieve the best skin care effect.
