On the Association between Glycolic Acid and Peri-Keratosis
The disease of the skin, people with Peri-Keratosis (Kp), often disturb everyone. The disease skin is rough, like chicken skin, which is unsightly. And glycolic acid (Glycolic Acid) is gradually emerging in the field of skin care, and everyone suspects its relationship with Peri-Keratosis. Can it be helpful?

Glycolic Acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid. Its molecules are tiny and can travel smoothly through the skin and penetrate deep into the stratum corneum. The cause of Peri-Keratosis is excessive keratosis of the hair follicle mouth, causing blockage of the hair follicle mouth, making it difficult for the hair to come out, so it becomes rough. Glycolic acid has excellent exfoliation effect, which can loosen the connection between keratinocytes, so that the thick stratum corneum gradually falls off, making the hair follicle mouth unobstructed, hair can grow smoothly, and the appearance of rough skin is also reduced.

Looking at its mechanism of action, glycolic acid can promote skin metabolism. The replacement of skin cells is related to the health and appearance of the skin. Normal metabolism can keep the skin delicate and smooth. Patients with peri-hairy keratosis often have a stagnant metabolism. Glycolic acid can stimulate cell vitality, accelerate the shedding of old cells, and the emergence of new cells. The texture of the skin can also be improved, and the symptoms of peri-hairy keratosis may be alleviated.

Furthermore, glycolic acid has the power of moisturizing. Peri-hairy keratosis skin is often dry. Glycolic acid can increase the hydration ability of the skin, make the skin full of moisture, relieve roughness and desquamation caused by dryness, and moisturize the skin at the peri-hairy keratosis, and improve the appearance and touch.

When using glycolic acid, you also need to be cautious. It is irritating, sensitive skin, or uncomfortable, such as tingling, redness, etc. Therefore, when using it for the first time, it should be tried at a low concentration. After the skin adapts, you should increase the concentration and frequency of use. And during use, you should pay attention to sun protection to avoid skin damage from ultraviolet rays.

In summary, glycolic acid does have an auxiliary improvement effect in periceratosis. However, individual differences are quite large, and non-everyone can achieve significant results. Those who use it should be cautious according to their own skin conditions in order to expect the skin to gradually return to good condition.
