The Ordinary Glycolic Acid and Dandruff
On the relationship between fruit acid and dandruff

Recently, many people have been troubled by dandruff, so they have investigated various anti-dandruff methods. Fruit acid has attracted much attention in the field of skin care, and its effect on dandruff has also attracted investigation.

Fruit acid has many properties. It can promote the metabolism of the stratum corneum, causing the old keratin on the surface of the skin to fall off, thereby making the skin smoother and more delicate. But what is its effect on the scalp?

Common fruit acid may be helpful for dandruff. Dandruff is mostly caused by abnormal metabolism in the stratum corneum of the scalp and the accumulation of old keratin cells. Fruit acid can regulate the metabolism of the stratum corneum of the scalp, accelerate the shedding of old keratin, and prevent its excessive accumulation, thereby reducing dandruff formation.

And fruit acid may improve the microenvironment of the scalp. If the scalp environment is unbalanced, it is easy to breed microorganisms, some of which are related to dandruff. Fruit acid may regulate the pH of the scalp, create an environment that is not conducive to the growth of such microorganisms, and indirectly inhibit dandruff.

However, it should also be noted that although fruit acid may be beneficial, it is not used properly and has disadvantages. The scalp skin is relatively delicate, and fruit acid is irritating to a certain extent. If the concentration is too high or the frequency of use is improper, it is easy to cause scalp discomfort, such as itching, tingling, and even inflammation.

Therefore, those who want to use fruit acid anti-dandruff should be cautious. Try it with a low-concentration product first to observe the reaction of the scalp. And follow the correct method and frequency of use. If there is any discomfort, stop using it immediately, and seek medical consultation if necessary. In this way, you can get the benefits of fruit acid anti-dandruff and avoid its harm.
