On the effect of glycolic acid on pigmentation
People want to solve the problem of skin pigmentation. Today there is glycolic acid, which may be beneficial for this matter, try to discuss it in detail.

Glycolic acid belongs to the class of fruit acids, whose molecules are slender and can easily penetrate the skin. In the skin, melanocytes produce melanin, which is the main cause of pigmentation. Glycolic acid can promote the metabolism of keratinocytes, causing melanin-containing keratinocytes to quickly degrade and new skin to gradually appear, which is a benefit.

And glycolic acid can inhibit the activity of tyrosinase. Tyrosinase is also a key enzyme for melanin production. If its activity is inhibited, melanin synthesis will be blocked and pigmentation will slow down, which is a second benefit.

In addition, glycolic acid can increase the hydration ability of the skin, make the skin moist, and promote the formation of collagen and hyaluronic acid, making the skin firm and bright, and the skin is in good condition. It also helps to distribute the pigment evenly and reduce the appearance of pigmentation. This has three benefits.

Therefore, when using it for the first time, it is advisable to try it at a low concentration and a small area. After the skin adapts, the concentration and use area can be gradually increased. And after daytime use, strict sun protection is required to avoid aggravation of reverse pigmentation.
