Analysis of the tingling sensation caused by glycolic acid
Recently, when people use glycolic acid products, they often feel tingling, which has caused many doubts. Today, the cause is analyzed in detail to solve everyone's confusion.

Glycolic acid, a type of fruit acid, has excellent exfoliation effect. It can gently loosen the connections between keratinocytes, make old and waste keratin easy to fall off, make the skin surface smoother and more delicate, and can also promote skin metabolism, stimulate collagen production, and help skin glow and elasticity.

Why does the tingling sensation occur when using it? First, it may be due to individual skin tolerance differences. If the skin is more sensitive, the stratum corneum is thin and the skin barrier function is relatively weak. Glycolic acid touches such skin like a light touch of tissue paper, which can easily trigger a reaction of nerve endings and cause tingling. Second, improper use is also an incentive. If the frequency of use is too high, or the skin tolerance is not gradually established according to the product instructions, the skin suddenly bears strong stimulation, and tingling is easy to appear. If it is used initially, frequent application of high-concentration glycolic acid products will undoubtedly increase the pressure on the skin. Third, the influence of product formula ingredients. In some glycolic acid products, if other irritating ingredients are added or the formula is not properly prepared, it will also increase the burden on the skin and increase the chance of tingling.

To relieve this tingling feeling, start with low concentration and low frequency at the beginning of use. For example, for the first week, you can use low-concentration glycolic acid products once or twice a week, and then gradually increase the frequency and concentration of use depending on the skin's adaptation. Before use, clean the skin with gentle cleansing products. After drying, take an appropriate amount of the product and apply it evenly to the face, avoiding sensitive areas such as eyes and lips. If the tingling feeling is strong, you should immediately wash it with water, suspend use, and consult a professional dermatologist or beauty consultant.

In short, clear the reason for the tingling sensation of glycolic acid, and use it correctly, so as to enjoy its skin beauty effect, avoid skin discomfort and achieve the ideal skin care effect.
