On the Effect of Glycolic Acid on Fungal Acne
Nowadays, many people are trapped in the disturbance of fungal acne, so they study various things to solve their problems. Glycolic acid is also one of the explorations.

Avoglycolic acid, a fruit acid and the like, has many skin conditioning properties. It is metabolized in the keratin and can promote its normalization. Horny people, the barrier of the skin, if the metabolism is abnormal, it is easy to cause blockage of the hair follicle mouth, which is a breeding ground for fungi. Glycolic acid can gently exfoliate the keratin, make the hair follicles smooth, and reduce the risk of blockage, which may be beneficial for the prevention and treatment of fungal acne.

However, fungal acne is caused by fungi, mainly caused by the excessive reproduction of Malassezia. Although glycolic acid adjusts the keratin, there is no conclusive evidence for the inhibition of fungi. Although it can change the skin microenvironment, reduce oil adhesion, and theoretically be unfavorable to fungal reproduction, the actual effect may vary.

For those with strong skin tolerance, using products containing glycolic acid can make the skin feel refreshed and acne may be relieved; for those with sensitive skin, it may cause discomfort and exacerbate acne. Because glycolic acid is irritating to a certain extent, sensitive skin is difficult to bear.

In summary, glycolic acid may have auxiliary effects in fungal acne, but it is not a cure. To solve the problem of fungal acne, it is best to combine antifungal methods with scientific skin care methods when considering comprehensively.
