The use of glycolic acid during pregnancy
During pregnancy, the use of many daily products and skin care ingredients needs to be cautious, and glycolic acid is one of the most concerned. As a common chemical, glycolic acid is quite common in various skin care products, and it is famous for its effect of promoting skin metabolism and improving skin quality. However, for pregnant women, its safety is controversial.

On the one hand, there are opinions that glycolic acid is used during pregnancy or has latent risks. Because the body of pregnant women is in a special physiological state, the skin is more sensitive, and the metabolism is different from that of ordinary people. Glycolic acid may affect the fetus through blood circulation due to its penetration into the skin. Although there are no conclusive studies to prove the specific extent and nature of this effect, many experts tend to be cautious due to the high importance of fetal health.

On the other hand, some studies have pointed out that if glycolic acid is used in moderate amounts, at low concentrations, and there are no adverse reactions to the skin, it may be used under the guidance of a doctor. However, this is only a limited research result, and the scope of application is extremely limited.

Overall, the use of glycolic acid during pregnancy should be taken with extreme caution. If pregnant women need to use glycolic acid-containing skin care products, they must consult a professional doctor or dermatologist in advance to obtain personalized guidance and suggestions based on their specific physical condition, pregnancy stage and other comprehensive factors. They must not use them at will to avoid unpredictable harm to their own and fetal health.
