Burn damage is undoubtedly related to the concentration of fruit acid, and there is currently no definite standard for the concentration of fruit acid in the process of fruit acid peeling. The manifestations of burn damage are skin congestion, edema, flushing, burning pain, water flow, scaling, etc. If these symptoms are not effectively controlled, infection or even suppuration and scarring will occur. Indirect burns mainly refer to the stimulation of sunlight on the skin of the treatment area. The use of skin care products containing fruit acid will increase the skin's absorption of ultraviolet rays. According to a study by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), if you continue to use skin care products with a fruit acid content of 10% and a pH value of 3.5. After 4 weeks, the skin's ability to resist ultraviolet rays will decrease by 18%.

2. Skin allergies

Fruit acid is a general term for concentrated chemical substances, such as citric acid in citrus fruits, malic acid in apples, tartaric acid in wine, and glycolic acid extracted from sugarcane. Although most fruit acid products on the market are glycolic acid or different combinations of other fruit acids, it is usually not clear which fruit acid is the main one, but AHA covers it. This lays the groundwork for skin allergies. Allergies are commonly manifested by local reactions such as skin flushing, edema, exudation, itching or eczema, and even ulceration. However, a few may have systemic reactions, such as asthma, sneezing, perineal edema, etc.

3. The stratum corneum is damaged and dry and dehydrated

The function of fruit acid is to remove the old stratum corneum through the action of fruit acid. Because the depth of the fruit acid peeling operation is too high, the stratum corneum of the skin is easily damaged, which reduces the skin's ability to lock in moisture and defend, causing dry skin and easy peeling due to lack of water. The damage to the stratum corneum caused by the fruit acid peeling can also easily cause sunburn.
