"On the Use of Glycolic Acid to Improve Dark Circles"

There are many people in recent times who are trapped in dark circles. Seeking a cure to solve this worry is what many hope for. Glycolic acid may be a useful method.

Glycolic acid has unique properties. It can promote the metabolism of the skin, like a spring breeze, blowing the earth lightly and awakening the vitality of sleep. In the stratum corneum of the skin, glycolic acid can gently loosen the connections between them, causing the old stratum corneum to slowly fall off, just like the melting of snow in winter. In this way, the surface of the skin can be renewed and glow with a new brilliance.

The cause of dark circles under the eyes may be due to poor blood vessels and stagnant qi and blood, resulting in dull skin color; or due to aging skin, slow metabolism and pigmentation. Glycolic acid can stimulate the production of collagen, which seems to build a solid foundation for the skin. Increased collagen, enhanced skin elasticity, and smoother blood vessels, which helps to improve the stagnant state of qi and blood.

Furthermore, glycolic acid may inhibit the activity of tyrosinase. This enzyme is like a key gate in the process of pigment formation. Glycolic acid inhibits its activity, just like closing the gate, reducing the production of melanin, thereby reducing dark circles caused by pigmentation.

When using glycolic acid, caution is also required. Because of its irritation, if the skin is sensitive, use it rashly, it may cause skin discomfort, such as redness, tingling, etc. Therefore, use a small amount first on the local skin test, and observe that it is not harmful before it can be officially used. And the frequency of use should also be appropriate, not excessive, so as not to damage the skin.

In short, glycolic acid may have potential to improve dark circles under the eyes, and it should be used with caution according to the characteristics of the skin. In this way, it may be able to use its strength to make the skin clear and bright.
