Acne often appears on our faces from time to time. In order to fight acne, many people put their hopes on "acid peeling", as if acid peeling is a panacea for acne. But is it really so? 1. What is acid peeling? Acid peeling is actually the use of skin care products containing a certain concentration of acid ingredients, such as glycerin, salicylic acid, etc., to promote the exfoliation of the stratum corneum and unclog the pores, thereby achieving the effects of removing acne, whitening, and skin rejuvenation. 2. Can acid peeling really remove acne? Acid peeling can remove acne to a certain extent, but it is not suitable for everyone. Acid peeling does have a certain improvement effect on mild to moderate acne, especially acne-type acne. However, for inflammatory acne, cystic acne, etc., acid peeling may aggravate inflammation and even cause facial ulcers. The following consequences may be caused: 1. Damaged skin barrier: Acid peeling will peel off the stratum corneum. If the skin barrier is damaged, acid peeling will aggravate skin sensitivity and cause redness, stinging, peeling and other problems. 2. Produce inflammatory acne: Acid peeling will irritate the inflamed area, aggravate the redness, swelling and pain of the acne, and even leave acne marks and acne pits. 3. Causes sensitive skin: Sensitive skin has poor tolerance, and acid peeling can easily cause allergic reactions, which will further damage the skin barrier. 4. Effects during pregnancy and lactation: Some acid ingredients may cause effects on the fetus or infant and are not recommended for use. 3. How to remove acid scientifically? 1. Choose the acid product that suits you: It is recommended to start with low-concentration, mild acid products for the first acid brushing, and gradually build up tolerance. 2. Do a good job of moisturizing and sun protection: After acid peeling, the skin will become dry and fragile, and needs to be moisturized and protected from the sun. 3. Take it step by step and don’t do too much: The frequency of acid peeling should not be too high. It is recommended to do it 1-2 times a week and adjust according to skin tolerance. 4. If you experience any discomfort, stop using it immediately: If you experience severe redness, stinging, peeling, etc. after acid peeling, stop using it immediately and consult a dermatologist. Conclusion: You can’t just rely on acid peeling to get rid of acne! The formation of acne is related to many factors, such as excessive sebum secretion, abnormal keratinization of hair follicles, infection with Propionibacterium acnes, etc. If you want to completely defeat acne, you need to start from many aspects. For example, do a good job of daily cleaning, oil control and moisturizing, diet conditioning, regular work and rest, seek professional help, etc. Acid peeling has risks, and acne removal needs to be cautious! Only by scientific skin care and rational "acne" can you have healthy and beautiful skin! Feel free to forward this article to your friends who are troubled by acne. Stop blindly using acid peels! |
