Glycolic Acid and Millet Pimples

Millet pimples are tiny cysts on the skin that are commonly seen on the face, especially around the eyes. Its causes are complex, including genetic factors, skin damage, abnormal secretion of sebaceous glands and other reasons. Everyone is looking for an effective way to get rid of it, and glycolic acid has entered the field of vision.

Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid and is widely used in skin care products. It has multiple effects, the first of which is to promote the shedding of stratum corneum cells and accelerate the metabolism of the skin. With this property, glycolic acid may help improve the condition of millet pimples.

In terms of mechanism of action, glycolic acid can loosen the connections between keratinocytes and thin the accumulated stratum corneum. The formation of millet papules is in part due to the accumulation of keratin under the surface of the skin. Glycolic acid can gradually dissolve and expel this accumulation, resulting in smooth skin. And glycolic acid can stimulate the production of collagen in the dermis, enhance skin elasticity and luster, further improve skin condition, and indirectly benefit the removal of millet papules.

However, the use of glycolic acid to treat millet papules also requires caution. Due to its irritation, if the skin is sensitive, it is necessary to perform a local skin test before use. When initially using, choose products with lower concentration and control the frequency of use, such as once or twice a week. With the improvement of skin adaptability, adjust the concentration and frequency as appropriate. If the skin experiences redness, swelling, tingling, itching and other uncomfortable symptoms during use, it should be discontinued immediately and the advice of a professional dermatologist should be consulted.

In short, glycolic acid may be helpful for the improvement of mileage, but the specific effect of your mileage may vary. When using, you need to use it scientifically and reasonably according to your own skin condition to achieve the ideal skin care effect on the basis of protecting skin health.
