Glycolic Acid Face Wash Pregnancy Safety
Analysis of the use of glycolic acid facial cleanser during pregnancy
Women are pregnant, and their bodies change in various ways, and skin care methods also need to be cautious. Glycolic acid facial cleansers are quite common in daily cleansing, but it is necessary to explore the safety of their use during pregnancy.

Glycolic acid is a type of fruit acid. It has the power of loosening the stratum corneum of the skin, which can promote the renewal of keratinocytes, make the skin smooth and delicate, and can increase the permeability of the skin. It is quite commonly used in skin care products. However, during pregnancy, women have special physiological states. Whether glycolic acid can pass through the skin barrier and affect the development of the fetus is the focus of attention.

As far as existing studies are concerned, after a small amount of glycolic acid is absorbed by the skin, the metabolic pathway in the body is relatively clear. Under normal dosage, most of them can be metabolized and excreted from the body. However, there are also views that skin sensitivity may change during pregnancy, and glycolic acid may cause skin irritation reactions, such as redness, itching, tingling, etc., which not only affect the comfort of pregnant women, but also indirectly affect the mood and health of pregnant women. Factors such as maternal mood are also related to fetal development.

Therefore, if you want to use glycolic acid facial cleanser during pregnancy, you should be cautious. First, you should consult a professional obstetrician or dermatologist, according to personal skin type, pregnancy and other comprehensive considerations. If pregnant women's skin is usually sensitive, it should be avoided. Secondly, even if you use it, you should try it on a small scale before the local skin to observe whether there is any discomfort. Furthermore, strictly control the frequency and dosage of use, and must not rely too much on its skin care effect.

In short, skin care during pregnancy, safety comes first. For products such as glycolic acid facial cleanser, only careful choice and scientific use can ensure the safety and health of the fetus when caring for the skin.
