Glycolic acid is used for pigmentation
The disease of pigmentation plagues everyone and damages the beauty of the face. Glycolic acid, on the other hand, may have potential to solve this disease.
Glycolic acid has unique properties. Its molecules are small and can travel smoothly through the skin and penetrate deep into the stratum corneum. By accelerating the replacement of keratinocytes, the old waste cells on the surface of the skin can be quickly shed. In this way, it can improve the texture of the skin and make the skin glow.
And glycolic acid also has an effect on the metabolism of pigment. It can inhibit the activity of tyrosinase. Tyrosinase is a key enzyme in melanin production. When the activity of this enzyme is inhibited, the synthesis of melanin will decrease. Over time, the pigmentation of the skin, such as pigmentation, dullness, is expected to reduce.
When using glycolic acid, you should also be cautious. Because it is irritating to a certain extent. Those with delicate skin, or when using it for the first time, feel tingling and redness. Therefore, when using it for the first time, you should try it at a low concentration, and gradually adapt the skin. It is also necessary to do a good job of sun protection, because the skin is more sensitive to ultraviolet rays after the action of glycolic acid. If it is not properly protected, it will lead to aggravation of pigmentation.
In short, although glycolic acid has the possibility of improvement in pigmentation, those who use it must know its nature in detail and be cautious in order to achieve the expected effect and protect the health of the skin.
