On Topical Glycolic Acid and Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a special period for women. All kinds of physiological functions of the body have changes, and medication and skin care need to be cautious. Topical Glycolic Acid is quite common in skin care products, but its effect on pregnancy needs to be investigated in detail.

Topical Glycolic Acid, which has a certain exfoliating effect, can make the skin smoother and more delicate, and is often used to improve rough and dull skin. However, during pregnancy, the skin sensitivity of pregnant women increases, and the growth and development of the fetus is easily disturbed by external factors.

Although there is no conclusive large-scale study to show that topical Glycolic Acid will definitely cause adverse effects on the fetus, it should be used with caution from a safety perspective. Due to the absorption of substances by the skin or through the blood circulation to the whole body, it poses a potential threat to the fetus.

Some studies have pointed out that the use of high concentrations of glycolic acid may increase the irritation of the skin, causing redness, swelling, tingling and other uncomfortable symptoms, which not only affect the comfort of pregnant women, but also indirectly affect the fetus due to physical stress reactions.

Therefore, if you want to use skin care products other than glycolic acid during pregnancy, pregnant women must first consult a professional dermatologist or obstetrician-gynecologist. Doctors can give scientific advice according to the specific conditions of pregnant women, such as skin type and gestational age. If not necessary, pregnant women should try to avoid using external products containing glycolic acid during pregnancy to ensure the healthy growth and development of the fetus in the mother's body. Overall, skin care choices during pregnancy should be based on ensuring the safety of the mother and baby.
