On the relationship between glycolic acid and hair loss
In recent years, glycolic acid has become more and more common in skin care products. It is mild in nature, has the ability to exfoliate and promote metabolism, and is often the choice for skin rejuvenation. However, there is also suspicion that glycolic acid may cause hair loss.

The growth of hair is related to various factors. The health of hair follicles, the balance of hormones, and the supply of nutrients are all important. Glycolic acid is applied to the skin, mainly in the epidermis. Its exfoliating power is designed to strip off the outer layer of aging cells and regenerate the skin. Under normal circumstances, if used properly, it has no direct harm to hair follicles.

However, if used improperly, such as excessive concentration, excessive frequency, or skin sensitivity, glycolic acid may cause scalp discomfort. When the scalp is uncomfortable, or inflammation and inflammation occur together, it may disturb the hair follicle microenvironment. The hair follicle microenvironment is disordered, and the hair growth cycle is easily affected. If it is light, the hair becomes thinner and softer, and if it is heavy, it may cause hair loss.

Furthermore, glycolic acid may be related to individual physical differences. People have different skin types and different tolerances to glycolic acid. Some people have strong skin tolerance, so it is okay to use it; however, sensitive people, even low concentrations of glycolic acid, may also cause scalp irritation, which is associated with hair loss.

Therefore, if you want to use products containing glycolic acid, you should first test the sensitivity and check the skin's response. And when using, be sure to strictly abide by the norms and control its concentration and frequency. In this way, you can enjoy the benefits of glycolic acid skin care and avoid the disadvantages of hair loss.
