Glycolic acid and scars improve
Husband scars, the marks left by the skin after healing are either unsightly or uncomfortable. Recently, the effect of glycolic acid on scar improvement has gradually been observed by everyone.
Glycolic acid belongs to the class of fruit acids, with small molecules that can quickly penetrate the surface of the skin. Its effect on scars covers several ends. First, it can promote exfoliation of the stratum corneum. If the stratum corneum of the skin is too thick, the appearance of scars will get worse. Glycolic acid can loosen the connection between keratinocytes, make the old waste keratin shedding, smooth the surface of the skin, and reduce the roughness of scars.
Second, glycolic acid can stimulate the synthesis of collagen in the dermis. The formation of scars, the arrangement of collagen may be different. Glycolic acid promotes its regeneration and rearrangement, makes the scar gradually flatten, and the color is similar to that of the normal skin. Furthermore, it has the ability to moisturize. The skin at the scar is often dry, and glycolic acid can increase the hydration ability of the skin, make the scar soft, and relieve discomfort.
It is also prudent to use glycolic acid to improve the scar. It is acidic or irritating to the skin. It should be used at a low concentration for the first time, and it should be gradually increased. It depends on the response of the skin. When using it, it is necessary to avoid sensitive areas such as eyes and mouth. If there is redness, swelling, tingling or even allergies, stop using it immediately and consult a doctor.
In short, glycolic acid has great potential to improve scars. However, it can be used reasonably to obtain its benefits and avoid its harm, and help the skin restore its good state.
