On the effect of glycolic acid on body acne
Acne is born in the body, and it plagues many people. Recently, the effect of glycolic acid on body acne has gradually been observed by the world.

Glycolic acid belongs to α-hydroxy acids. Its molecules are tiny and can quickly penetrate the stratum corneum of the skin. In the process of skin metabolism, it can loosen the adhesion between keratinocytes, make the old waste keratin easy to remove, and make the skin surface smooth. This effect is significant in the treatment of body acne.

The generation of capillary acne is mostly due to abnormal keratinization of the hair follicle mouth, blocked sebum excretion, and multiplied by Propionibacterium acne, causing inflammation. Glycolic acid can not only promote the metabolism of keratin, but also prevent the blockage of the hair follicle mouth and make the sebum flow smoothly, which is a benefit. And it has certain antibacterial properties, which can prevent the reproduction of Propionibacterium acne and reduce the occurrence of inflammation. And glycolic acid can increase the hydration ability of the skin, moisturize the skin, and improve the dry state of the skin caused by acne and treatment. This has three benefits.

However, there is also something to pay attention to when using glycolic acid to treat acne. Its acidity or skin irritation should be started at a low concentration, and the dosage and frequency should be gradually increased to make the skin suitable. If you feel skin discomfort, such as tingling, redness and swelling, etc., stop using it immediately and seek medical attention if necessary. And for daytime use, strict sun protection is required to prevent skin sensitivity and pigmentation.

In short, glycolic acid has considerable potential for the treatment of body acne. Reasonable use, supplemented by appropriate skin care, is expected to help people get rid of the pain of body acne and get smooth skin.
