Pyruvic acid occurs naturally in many foods, such as apples, honey, vinegar, as well as in fermented fruits, dark wine and beer.
\nIn living organisms, pyruvic acid is a key metabolite in the process of glycolysis – the conversion of glucose into energy – acting as an intermediate step in the alcoholic fermentation of carbohydrates. <\/p>\n
Pyruvic acid is characterized by its small particle size, which allows it to penetrate the skin deeply. Pyruvic acid is used in dermatology to treat acne, especially in people with oily and blackhead-prone skin. Pyruvic acid (CAS: 127-17-3) is an organic chemical compound belonging to the group of alpha-keto acids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":35257,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5449],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-35368","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-acids","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"shipping-taxable","11":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
\nIt has both a carboxyl and a carbonyl group, making it more potent than other acids such as lactic acid.
\nIn concentrations above 50%, it can penetrate the skin quickly and deeply, exfoliating and stimulating skin cells. Effect of pyruvic acid:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
Application<\/h2>\n
\nPyruvic acid peels can also be used to reduce superficial acne scars and wrinkles.
\nThe acid is also used in anti-aging treatments.
\nDue to its intense action, the use of pyruvic acid in high concentrations (above 50%) must be carried out only by qualified professionals.
\nFor lower concentrations, the acid can be used at home, but always under the supervision of a professional. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
