Abstract in brief

  • Glycolic acid treatment enhances the expression of type I collagen mRNA and increases hyaluronic acid content in human skin, indicating improvement in skin structure and hydration.
  • The study found that applying glycolic acid twice daily for three months leads to increased collagen gene expression and higher levels of hyaluronic acid in both the epidermis and dermis compared to a control lotion.
  • These results suggest that glycolic acid promotes remodeling of the skin's extracellular matrix, which could help repair photodamaged skin, and longer treatments might further boost collagen deposition.
