On the effect of glycolic acid on hypopigmentation
Glycolic acid, the effect of hypopigmentation in the skin, has gradually become more and more important to the world. The reason is that glycolic acid has unique chemical properties, which can penetrate deep into the surface of the skin and have subtle effects on cells.

The color of the skin is related to the distribution of pigments. Pigmentation is a complex biochemical process, and melanocytes are its source. Glycolic acid can regulate the activity of melanocytes and prevent them from overproducing melanin. This is like a gate to water, moderately regulated, so that pigmentation is orderly.

And glycolic acid can accelerate the metabolism of the stratum corneum. Old keratin, often containing excess melanin, accumulates on the surface, causing uneven and dull skin tone. Glycolic acid causes keratinocytes to loosen and shed, melanin goes away, and the skin is bright and hypopigmented.

Furthermore, glycolic acid may affect the transport of melanin. After melanin is generated from melanocytes, it needs to be transported to keratinocytes. Glycolic acid can interfere with this transport path, reduce the deposition of melanin in keratinocytes, and ultimately achieve the purpose of hypopigmentation.

Clinical experience, many examples have proved the effect of glycolic acid on hypopigmentation. It also needs to be used cautiously, and the concentration and frequency should be appropriate, otherwise it may cause skin discomfort, such as redness, swelling, tingling, etc. Users should find a way to adapt according to their own skin type to obtain the good effect of glycolic acid pigment reduction and ensure skin health.
