On the Safety of Glycolic Acid Toner During Pregnancy
Women in the world must be cautious when taking care of their skin when they are pregnant. Glycolic acid toner is a common product for skin care, but it is also used during pregnancy. What is the safety of it? This is a matter of great concern to pregnant women.

Glycolic acid, a type of fruit acid, has the power of loosening the stratum corneum of the skin, which can cause keratinocytes to separate and fall off, making the skin surface renewed, radiant, and can increase skin hydration, which is beneficial to skin care for ordinary people. However, the body of pregnant women is different from ordinary people. Physiological states during pregnancy have changed, and the skin is also sensitive to the past.

Looking at the properties of glycolic acid, although it can improve the skin, it is irritating to a certain extent. Pregnant women have sensitive skin, and using glycolic acid toner may cause skin discomfort, such as redness, itching, and tingling. What's more, due to skin absorption, glycolic acid may enter the systemic circulation, affecting the fetus. Cover the fetus in the mother's abdomen, with incomplete development, weak resistance to external substances, and glycolic acid may interfere with fetal cell differentiation and development, causing unpredictable diseases.

To protect the health of the skin during pregnancy, it is better to choose mild and non-irritating products, and stay away from things that may be risky such as glycolic acid toners. In this way, it is also a way to protect the fetus.
