On Glycolic Acid During Pregnancy
When a woman is pregnant, she needs to be cautious in her diet and residence, and the things used are related to the safety of the fetus. Glycolic acid is common in daily use, such as cleansing milk, toner, cream and other skin care products. However, during pregnancy, the interests involved cannot be ignored.

Glycolic acid has unique properties. It can penetrate into the surface of the skin, loosen the adhesion between keratinocytes, and make the old keratin fall off, so the skin is reborn. Therefore, it is often used for skin beauty, with the effect of rejuvenating and radiating.

However, pregnant women are different from ordinary people. Although glycolic acid is used externally, it enters the fetus after being absorbed through the skin or through the bloodstream. The current research, the effect of glycolic acid on fetal development is not yet clear. Studies have shown that high doses of glycolic acid in animal experiments may cause embryonic toxicity and teratogenicity risk. Although the concentration of glycolic acid in human skin care products is often low, it is still advisable to be cautious during the special period of pregnancy in order to protect the fetus comprehensively.

Doctors often say that during pregnancy, skin care drugs are based on safety. If you want to use products containing glycolic acid, you should consult a doctor first. Doctors can weigh the pros and cons according to the specific conditions of the woman, such as pregnancy age and constitution, and give guidance. Or recommend a more gentle and proven skin care option that is safe for the fetus to protect the health of the skin during pregnancy and the smooth development of the fetus.

In short, the use of glycolic acid during pregnancy requires caution, with the health of the mother and fetus as the first priority.
