On the safety of glycolic acid on adolescent skin
Today's discussion on whether glycolic acid is safe for adolescent skin. Glycolic acid belongs to the class of fruit acids and is widely used in the field of skin care.

Adolescent skin is growing and developing, its stratum corneum is thin, and the sebaceous glands are exuberant, which is prone to acne and other skin problems. Glycolic acid has many properties. One of them is that it can promote the metabolism of the stratum corneum, make the old cuticles fall off, and then make the skin surface smoother, improve the condition of clogged pores, and relieve acne problems to a certain extent.

Although adolescent skin is delicate and sensitive, glycolic acid has many benefits, but if used improperly, there are also risks. Its acidic properties may irritate the skin, causing redness, swelling, tingling, and itching. If adolescent skin itself is sensitive skin, it needs to be used with caution.

Therefore, if adolescents want to use skin care products containing glycolic acid, they should first conduct a local skin test. Apply a small amount of the product to more sensitive areas such as behind the ear or inside the arm, and observe for 24 hours. If there is no adverse reaction, you can try to use it. And at the beginning of use, the frequency should be low and the concentration should be thin. If you use it once or twice a week at the beginning, you can make adjustments depending on the skin's tolerance. At the same time, be sure to take sun protection measures during use. Because glycolic acid thins the stratum corneum of the skin, it decreases the resistance to ultraviolet rays. If the sun protection is not good, it is easy to cause sunburn, tanning, and even accelerate skin aging.

In short, glycolic acid may have an effect on improving the skin of adolescents, but safety needs to be carefully considered. The use process must follow scientific methods to protect the delicate skin of adolescents.
