Glycolic Acid and Underarms
On the relationship between glycolic acid and underarm
The main part of the human body is also related to sweating and odor emission. Recently, the effectiveness of glycolic acid in underarm care has gradually attracted the attention of everyone.

Glycolic acid belongs to the category of alpha-hydroxy acids. Its molecules are tiny and have excellent permeability. On the underarm skin, it can travel unimpeded and penetrate deep into the stratum corneum.

Look at its cleansing power. Glycolic acid can loosen the connection between keratinocytes, make old keratin fall off, and make the dirt and excess keratin on the surface of the underarm skin no longer exist, achieving the purpose of cleansing and making the underarm skin clear.

As for the antibacterial effect, glycolic acid can fine-tune the acid-base environment of the underarm skin. Its moderate acidity can inhibit the growth of common bacteria, such as staphylococcus, etc. These bacteria are prone to odor in warm and humid places under the armpit. Glycolic acid, with its antibacterial power, controls the taste from the source and makes the underarm breath fresh.

In addition, glycolic acid also makes a contribution to moisturizing. It can promote the synthesis of the skin's own moisturizing factors, such as hyaluronic acid. Under the armpits, it can relieve dryness caused by sweating or excessive cleaning, maintain skin hydration, and make underarm skin soft and elastic.

When using glycolic acid to care for underarms, it is also necessary to be cautious. Because it is acidic to a certain extent or irritates the skin. For beginners, try it on a small scale to see if the skin tolerates it. If there is any discomfort, it should be stopped immediately. And the frequency of use should be moderate, determined according to personal skin conditions, and must not be over-reliant to ensure long-term health of underarm skin.
