On the efficacy of glycolic acid in anti-dandruff
The method of anti-dandruff for husband has always been valued by everyone. Recently, the use of glycolic acid in anti-dandruff has gradually become a hot topic.
Glycolic acid has unique properties. It can gently exfoliate the scalp, so that the old stratum corneum on the surface of the scalp can be shed in an orderly manner without accumulation, which is one of the great boosts for anti-dandruff. Because the generation of dandruff is mostly caused by the metabolic disorder of keratinocytes, it is accumulated. Glycolic acid can regulate this metabolic process, making the renewal of scalp keratinocytes normal, thereby reducing the generation of dandruff.
Furthermore, glycolic acid can improve the microenvironment It can adjust the pH of the scalp and maintain it within a suitable range. A suitable acid-base environment is not conducive to the growth and reproduction of microorganisms such as Malassezia that can easily cause dandruff. In this way, the generation of dandruff is inhibited from the root cause.
And glycolic acid has a certain moisturizing effect on the scalp. Moderate use can keep the scalp hydrated and enhance the function of the scalp barrier. If the scalp barrier is stable, it can resist external stimuli and reduce the increase in dandruff caused by irritation.
However, the use of glycolic acid for dandruff should also be cautious. Because it is acidic, if the concentration is too high or used improperly, it may irritate the scalp and cause scalp discomfort, such as itching, redness and swelling Therefore, those who use it should choose the appropriate concentration and frequency of use according to their own scalp conditions, so as to obtain the good effect of anti-dandruff and avoid its harm.
In summary, glycolic acid does have its unique effect on anti-dandruff, but rational use is the key. Good use will be able to return people to a refreshing and clean scalp.
