On the effect of glycolic acid on dark spots
The disease of the skin in the world, dark spots are quite annoying. And glycolic acid, in the treatment of dark spots, has gradually entered the public's field of vision.
Glycolic acid belongs to the class of fruit acids and has unique properties. Its molecules are slender and can travel smoothly through the stratum corneum of the skin and penetrate deep into the bottom of the muscle. This characteristic makes it unique in improving the condition of dark spots.
The cause of dark spots is mostly related to pigmentation. Glycolic acid can accelerate the metabolism of keratinocytes, causing the replacement of old stratum corneum to increase rapidly. In this way, the keratinocytes accumulated on the surface of the skin can be peeled off in time. New cells are born instead, and the skin tone becomes more uniform, and the color of dark spots also decreases.
And glycolic acid can inhibit the activity of tyrosinase. This enzyme is crucial in the process of melanin production. If the activity of the enzyme is inhibited, the synthesis of melanin is blocked, and the color of dark spots is difficult to deepen, but it fades.
Looking at many empirical evidence, some people who use products containing glycolic acid can see that the dark spots fade and the skin tone is renewed. However, it should be understood that people have different skin, or have sensitive bodies. When using glycolic acid, it should be done with caution. Try it on a small part of the skin before it can be used without discomfort.
In short, glycolic acid can be used for the treatment of dark spots. But when using it, according to your own skin characteristics, choose it reasonably and use it moderately to get the good effect of skin improvement.
