On the Effect of Glycolic Acid Toner on Peridermal Keratosis
Peridermal keratosis is a common skin disease. It is mostly due to excessive keratosis of the hair follicle, which causes the hair to be blocked and difficult to emerge. The skin has rough papules and looks like chicken skin. It often occurs on the outside of the upper arm, the side of the thigh and other parts. Although it is generally harmless, it affects the appearance and adds burden to the patient's psychology.
Glycolic acid toner is quite beneficial in improving peridermal keratosis. Glycolic acid is a fruit acid with small molecules and strong penetrating power, which can easily penetrate into the stratum corneum of the skin. It can loosen the connection between the keratinocytes, accelerate the shedding of the stratum corneum, and promote the metabolism of the skin In this way, the blockage of the hair follicle mouth is relieved, the hair can grow smoothly, the pimples gradually disappear, and the roughness of the skin is relieved and becomes smoother.
When using glycolic acid toner, you should pay attention to the method. For first-time users, you should try it locally to observe whether there is any allergy or discomfort. Because glycolic acid is irritating to a certain extent, people with sensitive skin should be especially cautious. You can use it every few days at the beginning. After the skin adapts, you can adjust the frequency according to your own condition. When using, take an appropriate amount of toner on a cotton pad and gently wipe it on the affected area to avoid sensitive areas such as the eye area and lips. After wiping, you need to do a good job of moisturizing and sun protection. Due to the accelerated metabolism of the skin, the protection against ultraviolet rays is reduced, and improper sun protection is easy to cause

However, individual skin type and the severity of symptoms vary, and the effect may vary. If the symptoms are serious, you should seek medical attention in time and follow the doctor's advice in combination with other therapies.
