When it comes to whether pregnant women can use glycolic acid

in this world, everyone pays attention to the way of skin care. Glycolic acid is common in skin care products. However, when pregnant women use it, its advantages and disadvantages should be carefully reviewed.

Glycolic acid belongs to the class of fruit acids. It is often said that it can exfoliate, promote skin metabolism, make skin glow, smooth fine lines, and change skin texture. However, the body of pregnant women is extraordinary, and it is necessary to be careful when using drugs.

From the physiological point of view, women's skin during pregnancy may be more sensitive than usual, and glycolic acid is irritating to a certain extent, or causes skin discomfort, such as redness, itching, tingling, etc. And the barrier function of the skin of pregnant women may change, glycolic acid may increase the permeability of the skin, and harmful substances are more likely to enter the body, endangering the fetus.

From the pharmacological point of view, although there is no conclusive evidence that glycolic acid will harm the fetus after percutaneous absorption, it is necessary to be cautious when using drugs during pregnancy. When the embryo develops, the formation of various organs is easily affected by the outside world, and there are adverse consequences such as slight carelessness or fetal deformity.

Therefore, if it is not necessary for pregnant women, do not use skin care products containing glycolic acid. If the skin problem needs to be solved, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor or skin care expert first, and choose a safe and gentle method according to your own situation.

In short, when taking care of the skin of pregnant women, the safety of the fetus and herself should be the top priority, and they must not take risks for the sake of the temporary beauty of the skin. When using medicinal substances, choose carefully.
