Doctor's Cloud: Glycolic acid belongs to fruit acids. In ordinary human skin, it can promote keratin renewal and make the skin delicate and shiny. However, the body of a pregnant woman is extraordinary. When the fetus in the womb is at the critical stage of growth and development, the mother ingests or comes into contact with things that are related to the safety of the fetus.

Although glycolic acid is used externally, it is absorbed through the skin, which cannot be ignored. Its effects on pregnant women and fetuses have not been studied in detail. It is said that the skin is sensitive during pregnancy, and glycolic acid may cause skin allergies, redness, swelling, and tingling. This discomfort may tire the mother's body and mind, and indirectly affect the fetus.

Therefore, if pregnant women want to take care of their skin, they should choose glycolic acid products carefully. Gentle and safe methods can be sought, such as using skin care products extracted from natural plants, eating more fruits and vegetables to nourish the inside, and adapting to clear qi and blood. In this way, it is a good strategy for skin care for pregnant women, keeping the mother's health and protecting the fetus.
