The disease of the husband's skin, seborrheic dermatitis, is quite common. Its shape or dander swirling, or itchy skin, even erythema spreading, causing patients to suffer. The reason is mostly related to excessive sebum secretion, the growth of Malassezia and individual immunity.

The effect of glycolic acid on seborrheic dermatitis, one of which can regulate keratin metabolism. Seborrheic dermatitis is often accompanied by abnormal keratinocytes. Glycolic acid can accelerate the exfoliation of old keratin, make the skin's metabolism orderly, restore the epidermis to a flat and smooth, and reduce the inflammation caused by the accumulation of keratin. Second, glycolic acid has antibacterial properties, which can inhibit the growth of microorganisms associated with seborrheic dermatitis such as Malassezia, and relieve inflammation from the source. Third, it can stimulate collagen synthesis in the dermis, enhance the skin's barrier function, and enhance the skin's resistance to external stimuli, so as to relieve the symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis.
