On the anti-dandruff effect of glycolic acid
Whether glycolic acid can be anti-dandruff or not should be investigated and observed.
Glycolic acid belongs to the class of fruit acids and has unique characteristics. Its molecules are tiny and can penetrate into the stratum corneum of the scalp without hindrance. The stratum corneum is also the barrier of the scalp. However, if its metabolism is abnormal, the cells are too closely adhered, and dandruff occurs. Glycolic acid can loosen the adhesion between them, promote the shedding and renewal of keratinocytes, and return the metabolism of the stratum corneum of the scalp to normal.
And glycolic acid can increase the moisture of the skin. Dry scalp is also the cause of dandruff breeding. Glycolic acid can grasp water and moisturize the scalp, just like moisturizing the soil to raise seedlings. The dry and cracked soil is no longer, and dandruff is difficult to exist. The second is also.
Looking at various experiments, select a few people to be tested, and use hair products containing glycolic acid. After many years, many people feel that the itching of the scalp is greatly reduced, and depending on it, dandruff is also significantly reduced. It proves that glycolic acid is indeed effective in anti-dandruff.
When using glycolic acid, it should be used with caution. It has a certain acidity. If the concentration is too high, it may cause scalp discomfort, such as tingling and redness. Therefore, when using it, choose a product with a moderate concentration according to your own scalp tolerance, and use it sometimes, not too much.
In summary, glycolic acid does have the ability to remove dandruff, and it must be used appropriately to obtain its benefits and avoid its harm.
