Can pearl powder whiten and remove acne?

Chen Qiquan

The legendary pearl powder is magical, but unfortunately, it cannot [beautify].

Pearl powder is actually a layer of substance on the surface of pearls. Its main component is calcium (accounting for more than 90%). The rest is dense keratin and some trace components. There is nothing what can do [beauty beauty].

To take a step back, even if the ingredients claimed by the merchants are all available, the absorption on the skin for external use is limited, and eating them will not have much impact on the skin.

Therefore, if you want to use pearl powder to beautify and whiten your skin, you might as well eat egg shells without money…

It is not completely nonsense about pearl powder [acne removal].

After the pearl is ground into powder, the fine particles are applied externally on the face and repeatedly rubbed locally, which has mechanical stimulation effect on the hair follicle angle bolt of acne.

For acne (acne) patients with acne, if the skin is greasy, pearl powder will feel greasy temporarily when applied externally, and pearl powder can be added to rub when smearing or washing face, so the angle plug at the hair follicle mouth can be mechanically eluted, so the use of pearl powder can relieve acne symptoms to some extent.

However, this effect is temporary and cannot have any substantial impact on acne (acne). If it is not selected properly, it may irritate the skin and aggravate acne.

Therefore, no dermatologist will recommend patients to use pearl powder to treat acne.

Finally, let’s talk about the harm.

Judging from its composition and structure, pearl powder is not harmful to local external use and generally does not cause great irritation to skin.

However, if facial skin has inflammatory skin damage, such as acne inflammatory papules, pustules, cyst nodules, etc., or open wounds, the use of pearl powder is easy to cause local foreign body stimulation, aggravating the damageTherefore, people in these situations must be careful.
