The effect of stopping glycolic acid
Recently, many people who use glycolic acid for skin care, but if they stop using it, what is the impact?

At the beginning, the skin may seem to rebound. Glycolic acid often promotes keratin metabolism, and the skin is accustomed to this rhythm. Once discontinued, the keratin metabolism slows down, and the skin may be rough and dark, and the uneven color may be heavy, and the radiance and tenderness will gradually disappear.

Times, the balance of water and oil is easy. Glycolic acid helps the skin retain water and regulates oil secretion. Stop, the sebaceous glands may be deregulated, and oil secretion is abnormal. Dry skin is drier, lacking moisture and peeling; oily skin is even more oily, causing pore congestion, acne and acne.

Furthermore, skin sensitivity may increase. Glycolic acid is used for a long time, the stratum corneum is slightly thinner, and although the skin is more sensitive, it also has the ability to adapt. Once discontinued, the skin suddenly loses this stimulation adjustment, and its resistance to external stimuli decreases. It is prone to redness, itching, tingling, and frequent sensitivity when exposed to hot and cold, wind, and dust.

To sum up, when glycolic acid is stopped, the skin has changes in metabolism, water and oil, and resistance. When you want to stop using it, you should gradually reduce the dosage and frequency, and supplement it with soothing and repairing products to help the skin transition smoothly and avoid all kinds of discomfort.
