On the Effect of Glycolic Acid on Dark Circles
In modern times, many people are trapped in the disturbance of dark circles. Seeking beauty, I have explored all kinds of good remedies to solve this problem. Glycolic acid is gradually emerging in the way of skin care, and everyone doubts: What is the benefit of it in dark circles?
Glycolic acid belongs to the class of fruit acids and has unique properties. Its molecules are tiny and can travel unimpeded deep into the surface of the skin. It can gently loosen the "adhesion" between keratinocytes, causing the old keratin to fall off naturally, and the skin will be reborn and regain its luster. This is the basis for improving the appearance of the skin.
As for dark circles, there are many causes. Or because of the impermanence of work and rest, the qi and blood are not smooth, and the skin around the eyes is dull; or because of the dry skin, the texture gradually appears, and the dark circles are more and more obvious. Glycolic acid can have a unique effect here. First, with its ability to exfoliate, it can promote the metabolism of the skin around the eyes and make the skin renewed and orderly. New skin is raw, the color is often brighter, and the color of dark circles may be slightly reduced. Second, glycolic acid can increase the degree of skin hydration. When the skin is full of moisture and the texture is relaxed, the visual effect of dark circles will also slow down.
When using glycolic acid around the eyes, it must be done with caution. The skin around the eyes is delicate and abnormal, and glycolic acid has a certain irritation. If the concentration is improper, it may cause redness, tingling, and damage to the skin. Therefore, when using it for the first time, it is advisable to choose a low-concentration product, and try it before a small area of skin to see if it is uncomfortable. The frequency of use should not be too dense, and it should be gradually adjusted after the skin adapts.
To sum up, glycolic acid may have an auxiliary effect on improving dark circles. However, if you want to get the full effect, you need to supplement it with regular work and rest, adequate sleep and comprehensive eye care. And those who use it must operate carefully according to their own skin conditions in order to achieve the desire of skin care and beauty.
