On the cause of acne caused by glycolic acid
Recently used glycolic acid to take care of the skin, but there was a rash on the face, and the heart was worried, so the cause was investigated.

First, the skin is intolerant. Glycolic acid has the ability to exfoliate. If the skin is delicate, it can be used suddenly, or it cannot be used. The skin is like a city that has just undergone war. It is peaceful, but suddenly it is stimulated. The defense state is in chaos, the sebaceous glands are secreted abnormally, the oil is clogged in the pores, and acne is born. For example, the flower of a greenhouse in Suju moves under the strong wind and sun, and the branches and leaves wither. The same is true for acne, which is a sign of skin stress.

Second, cleanliness is not good. Glycolic acid loosens the keratin and increases the exfoliation of the stratum corneum. If the cleansing is not clean, the exfoliated keratin is mixed with oil and dirt, and it is easy to become blocked. Like a ditch, the water flows, and the debris gradually accumulates, eventually leading to blockage. Acne is like a filthy image of rot breeding in the canal, born on the face.

Third, the product compatibility is inappropriate. If glycolic acid is used improperly with other substances, it can also cause acne. If it is used with some acne-causing ingredients, the two are superimposed, increasing the burden on the skin. Or other ingredients in skin care products interact with glycolic acid, destroying the balance of the skin's microenvironment, disturbing the sebaceous glands, and the oil secretion is perverse, and acne appears on the face.

Fourth, inflammation is stimulated. Although glycolic acid can promote the metabolism of the skin, if the concentration and frequency are improper, it is easy to cause skin inflammation. Under inflammation, the skin's immunity is unbalanced, leukocyte chemotaxis, inflammatory mediators are released, sebaceous glands are hyperplasia, oil secretion is excessive, and acne rashes follow. It is like pouring oil on the fire, and acne is exacerbated.

To solve this dilemma, when reviewing the nature of the skin, use glycolic acid at the beginning, it should be low concentration and less frequency, and then gradually adjust it when the skin adapts. Cleansing, exfoliating and dirt, and keeping pores unobstructed. Choose compatible products carefully to avoid acne-causing things. If inflammation has arisen, stop glycolic acid quickly, apply soothing and anti-inflammatory methods, and wait for the skin to recover, and then find skin care strategies. In this way, the benefits of glycolic acid skin care can be obtained and acne can be avoided.
