On the effect of glycolic acid in removing body odor
The disturbance of body odor, everyone has it. Either due to hot work, or due to physical endowment, the odor breeds, and it is often trapped in people. Now the theory of glycolic acid in removing body odor is gradually rising, and it is necessary to explore its rationale.

Glycolic acid is mild in nature and has unique chemical properties. Its effect on the skin is first in keratolysis. Cover the surface of human skin, the stratum corneum is a barrier, but the thick stratum corneum is easy to hide dirt and is a place for bacteria to multiply. Bacteria decompose sweat and skin surface secretions, resulting in peculiar smell. Glycolic acid can moderately dissolve keratin, make it thinner, make the skin breathe smoothly, and reduce the hiding place of bacteria.

Furthermore, glycolic acid can regulate the acid-base balance of the skin. Normal skin is weakly acidic, and this environment can inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria. However, many factors can cause acid-base imbalance in the skin, and odor bacteria take the opportunity to multiply. Glycolic acid can restore the skin to a suitable acid-base state, create an environment that is not conducive to the survival of odor bacteria, and curb the production of body odor from the source.

And glycolic acid has the power of moisturizing. Hydrated skin state can improve metabolism, sweat excretion is smoother, and it is not easy to accumulate and ferment. If the skin metabolism is good, the waste on the skin surface can be removed in time, and odor is difficult to produce.

In practice, many people who use glycolic acid products say that body odor is reduced. Or the shower gel contains glycolic acid, which can gradually improve the body odor during daily cleaning; or it can be matched with a skin care lotion and applied for a long time to optimize the skin condition and gradually eliminate the odor. It can be seen that glycolic acid does have its effect in removing body odor, providing a feasible method for those who are troubled by body odor.
