Acid peeling is essentially the process of exfoliating the skin using chemical agents.It works by applying chemicals to the surface of the skin, destroying the surface layer of the skin and then promoting new skin to replace the original skin.

Currently, common acid peeling ingredients include salicylic acid, fruit acid (such as citric acid, mandelic acid, malic acid), retinoic acid, etc. After these acidic substances are applied to the skin, they will react chemically with the skin, destroy the existing skin structure, and then prompt the body to start the skin's post-traumatic healing process, thereby quickly renewing the skin.

Of course, acid peeling can be divided into superficial peeling, middle peeling and deep peeling. We can get a glimpse of this from the structure of the skin, that is, we can see the gradual deepening of the damage caused by acid peeling to the skin structure.

02. What are the dangers of acid peeling?

Acid peeling can indeed solve skin problems to a certain extent. For example, for stubborn skin problems like acne, spots, etc., because they stay on the skin for a long time and form a stable structure, they will stay there no matter how the skin is renewed. In this case, acid peeling can alleviate these problems to a certain extent.

For example, a CCTV program once exposed the chaos of acid peeling beauty treatments promoted by internet celebrities, pointing out that many acid-containing cosmetics currently recommended by internet celebrities exaggerate the effects of their promotions and are likely to mislead consumers. For example, there are slogans such as "nanny-level immersive acid peeling" and "hand-in-hand teaching you how to do medical-grade fruit acid skin peeling", etc., without mentioning a word about the risks of acid peeling. As a result, many people have developed health problems during the process.

thingIn fact, as we mentioned at the beginning, acid peeling is a chemical method to damage the skin and promote regeneration. This process will inevitably damage the skin's first innate immune barrier, making it more susceptible to microbial invasion. If excessive acid peeling is not followed up with care, it will lead to aggravation of skin problems or even new problems. In addition, the skin tolerance problem caused by excessive acid peeling cannot be ignored.

The National Medical Products Administration also issued a special document pointing out the current chaos in the acid-brushing market, pointing out that acid-brushing should be performed in a hospital or clinic with medical qualifications and by trained professionals. Only in this way can the appropriate concentration be selected according to the patient's condition, a scientific diagnosis and treatment plan be formulated, and timely intervention can be made for any situations that arise during use.However, ordinary people do not have this kind of judgment ability, and it is not easy for them to control the dosage, and they cannot even detect the side effects in time. As a result, "rotten face" and "peeling" are common, which affects the health of many people.

Some people may ask, since acid peeling has risks, but removing part of the skin barrier and promoting skin regeneration is also a great need to some extent, how can we solve this problem?

This just means returning to the original essence.The essence of acid peeling is the process of exfoliating the skin, and as long as this process can be achieved, it will be fine.Our common methods can be divided into at least three categories: physical, chemical and biological. The physical method uses instruments, but this method is not feasible.The chemistry one is acid washing, is there one for biology?? Is the popular concept of "acid-free skin rejuvenation" in the market a waste of money?Of course not.

Acid-free peeling is essentially a biological method, using enzymes in organisms to work. It is actually a better way to solve the risks and irritation of chemical acid peeling while meeting the needs of acid peeling, making the skin delicate and smooth.。

I believe everyone knows that enzymes are biologically active macromolecules, mainly proteins, that can function in mild environments.Many people do acid peeling to accelerate the metabolism of melanin already produced by epidermal cells, and then brighten the skin tone.When it comes to products that improve skin color, the most common ones are those that inhibit tyrosinase activity and reduce melanin production. What substances can do this?
