On whether glycolic acid can remove strawberry legs

Recently, people often discuss the effect of glycolic acid on removing strawberry legs. For strawberry legs, the skin on the legs has a skin problem that looks like the surface of strawberries due to the accumulation of keratin and pigmentation at the mouth of the hair follicles.

Glycolic acid is a fruit acid. It has many skin effects and can easily penetrate into the surface of the skin due to its small molecular structure. First, glycolic acid can promote the metabolism of the stratum corneum and accelerate the shedding of old keratinocytes. The normal skin stratum corneum metabolism cycle is about 28 days. However, for some people, due to various reasons, this cycle is disordered, causing keratin accumulation, and strawberry legs may also be born as a result. Glycolic acid can adjust this cycle, making the stratum corneum on the surface of the skin smoother, and the blockage of the hair follicle mouth may be relieved. Second, glycolic acid can promote collagen synthesis in the dermis. Moderate use of glycolic acid can stimulate skin fibroblasts, increase collagen production, make the skin firmer and more elastic, and may improve the appearance of strawberry legs due to factors such as relaxation of the skin around the hair follicles.

If you want to remove strawberry legs with glycolic acid, there are also some points to pay attention to. First, the concentration selection. Low-concentration glycolic acid products may be relatively mild and suitable for beginners, but the improvement effect on strawberry legs may be limited; although high-concentration glycolic acid is theoretically more effective, it is also highly irritating to the skin. If used improperly, it can cause skin redness, swelling, tingling, peeling and other adverse reactions, and even damage the skin barrier. Second, individual differences. Different people's skin has different tolerance to glycolic acid. Oily skin may have slightly better tolerance to higher concentrations of glycolic acid, while sensitive skin, even low concentrations of glycolic acid may cause discomfort. And strawberry legs have complex causes, exfoliation and pigment problems, or are related to endocrine, genetic and other factors. Glycolic acid alone may not be completely solved.

In summary, glycolic acid may have a certain effect on removing strawberry legs, but when using it, be cautious and choose the product and use method reasonably according to your skin condition. If necessary, you can consult a professional dermatologist first. Do not use it blindly, so as not to damage your skin health.
