On the relationship between glycolic acid and pore size
The world says glycolic acid, or it is suspected that it causes pores to enlarge. However, it is not the case.

Glycolic acid belongs to the class of fruit acids and has unique properties. Its molecules are tiny and can travel unimpeded deep into the stratum corneum of the skin. Between the stratum corneum, it is like a craftsman to untie, loosening the connections between keratinocytes, causing the accumulated old waste keratin to slowly fall off. In this way, the surface of the skin gradually smooths, and the appearance of pores also improves, not increases.

And glycolic acid can stimulate the vitality of the bottom layer of the skin. It can stimulate fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastic fibers. These two, like the pillars of the skin, endow the skin with firmness and elasticity. When the skin's firmness increases, the pores naturally shrink rather than expand.

Furthermore, glycolic acid is also effective in regulating the oil secretion of the skin. Excessive oil secretion often causes clogged pores, which in turn enlarge. Glycolic acid can optimize the secretion function of the sebaceous glands, so that the oil secretion is moderate, and the pores can be kept fresh and unobstructed, so it is difficult to increase.

From this point of view, glycolic acid not only does not increase the pores, but is beneficial for improving the size of pores and improving the condition of the skin. However, when using it, it should also be used with caution, and it should be done in moderation according to the skin's tolerance
