On the relationship between glycolic acid and dry skin
There is a way of skin care in the world, and glycolic acid is often used. However, people are more skeptical about whether glycolic acid causes dry skin.

Glycolic acid is a type of fruit acid and is lively. On the skin, it can often dredge pores, exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin, so it is a good skin care product. However, its effect on dry skin cannot be ignored.

When using glycolic acid, if the skin does not adapt well or the dosage is excessive, there is a risk of dry skin. Because glycolic acid promotes keratin metabolism, the stratum corneum is renewed too quickly. If the skin is not moisturized enough, the moisture is easily lost, and it feels dry. And glycolic acid may irritate the skin, causing damage to the skin barrier and decreased water retention capacity, which is also the reason for dryness.

However, do not give up eating because of choking. If it is used properly, try it with low concentration glycolic acid first, wait for the skin to adapt, gradually increase the concentration, and supplement it with good moisturizing methods, such as moisturizing creams, masks, etc., which can reduce the damage caused by dryness. In addition, different skin types react differently to glycolic acid. Oily skin types may be more tolerant, but dry skin types need to be careful.

In summary, glycolic acid does not necessarily cause dry skin. The key lies in people making good use of it, weighing the advantages and disadvantages, applying appropriate skin care policies according to their skin type, so that the skin can benefit from glycolic acid without the worry of dryness.
