Glycolic Acid Body Cotton Tablets: Efficacy, Type, Usage and Tips
Efficacy
Glycolic Acid Body Cotton Tablets have many benefits. First, it can effectively improve the texture of the skin. Glycolic acid, as an alpha-hydroxy acid, can accelerate the metabolism of the skin, promote the shedding of the old and waste stratum corneum, and allow the new skin to show, thus making the skin feel smoother and more delicate. Long-term use can significantly reduce the roughness of the skin and make the body skin silky like satin.
Second, it helps to brighten the complexion. With the removal of old waste keratin, the skin's ability to absorb skin care products is enhanced. At the same time, glycolic acid can inhibit the activity of tyrosinase, reduce melanin production, and then improve the dullness caused by keratin accumulation and pigmentation, so that the body skin glows with a natural luster.
Third, it can also prevent and improve the symptoms of chicken skin to a certain extent. Chicken skin is mostly caused by abnormal keratinization of the hair follicle mouth. Glycolic acid can loosen the connection between keratinocytes, dredge the hair follicle mouth, relieve hair follicle blockage, and gradually flatten the small bumps like "goosebumps", relieving the symptoms of chicken skin.
