On whether glycolic acid is suitable for eyelid skin care
The use of glycolic acid has been explored by many people. The skin of the eyelids is thin and delicate, which is very different from other parts. The use of glycolic acid on this part needs to be considered carefully.

Glycolic acid belongs to the class of fruit acid and is often a good skin rejuvenation product. It can exfoliate, promote epidermal renewal, make the skin smooth and delicate, and has significant effect on ordinary skin. However, the skin on the eyelids is as thin as paper, and the sebaceous glands and sweat glands are rare, and its own protective function is weak.

If glycolic acid is applied to the eyelids rashly, there may be many risks. Its acidic properties may cause irritation to the eyelid skin, redness and itching in mild cases, pain and desquamation in severe cases. And the eyelid skin is sensitive and has poor tolerance. The irritation of glycolic acid can easily cause allergic reactions, such as rash and swelling, and even affect the normal function of the eyes, involving vision.

However, if glycolic acid must be used on the eyelids, it is not impossible. Only need to do a local sensitivity test first, take a small amount of glycolic acid, apply it to a small part of the edge of the eyelid, and wait for a few days to see if there is any discomfort. If there is no abnormality, use it with caution. And the concentration should be low, the initial concentration should not exceed 2%, the frequency of application should also be strictly controlled, once a week at the beginning, depending on the skin tolerance, and then adjust. When applying, the method must be gentle and do not rub too much.

In short, using glycolic acid on the eyelids, the advantages and disadvantages coexist. Users should carefully observe their own skin characteristics, weigh the advantages and disadvantages, and be cautious to ensure skin health.
