On the relationship between glycolic acid and dandruff
Husband dandruff, everyone has it. Since modern times, doctors have explored and gained a lot, and the relationship between glycolic acid and dandruff has gradually become apparent in the world.
Glycolic acid belongs to the class of fruit acids, which are mild in nature and have unique effects. In skin care, it can promote the renewal of stratum corneum cells and make the skin glow. However, its impact on the scalp has also attracted attention.
The ecology of the scalp is quite delicate. If the metabolism of the stratum corneum is abnormal and the cells adhere too much, it is easy to cause dandruff to breed. Glycolic acid can regulate the metabolism of the stratum corneum of the scalp, so that the cell replacement is orderly, and it will not accumulate and turn into dandruff. The principle is that glycolic acid can loosen the connections between keratinocytes, allowing old cells to fall off smoothly, allowing new cells to grow normally, and maintaining a healthy ecosystem of the scalp.
According to various experiments, the preparation containing glycolic acid is applied to the scalp, and over time, the amount of dandruff can be seen to decrease. And the microenvironment of the scalp is also improved, the itching feeling is gradually lighter, and the oil secretion is balanced. Glycolic acid can not only deal with the dandruff that has already been generated, but also adjust the metabolism of the scalp from the root to prevent problems before they occur.
However, when using glycolic acid, you should also be cautious. Although it is mild in nature, individual differences are quite large. Or people with sensitive skin may feel tingling and redness in the scalp after exposure to glycolic acid. Therefore, for the first time, it should be tested on a small area of skin before use. If there is no discomfort, it can be expanded. And the frequency and concentration of use should be determined according to the condition of the individual scalp.
Overall, glycolic acid is indeed beneficial in improving dandruff. Only when used properly can we take advantage of it and avoid its harm, and keep the scalp healthy.
