On the Compatibility of Adapalene and Glycolic Acid in Medical Medicine
The study of compatibility is the key. Today, whether adapalene and glycolic acid can be used together is related to the hidden effect of the drug and the safety of the affected body.
Adapalene is often used as a good medicine for acne. It can regulate the keratinization of the hair follicle mouth and resist the microorganisms in the hair follicle, so as to improve the effect of acne. Glycolic acid is a fruit acid, which has the function of promoting the exfoliation of the stratum corneum and accelerating the renewal of epidermal cells. It is often used for skin rejuvenation and improvement of skin texture.
However, the use of both must be done with caution. Glycolic acid exfoliates the stratum corneum, and the barrier function of the skin may be weakened in a short period of time. And adapalene itself is also irritating to the skin. If the two are used together, the skin will be irritated or suddenly increased, causing skin redness, burning, desquamation and other discomforts to intensify.
If you want to use it together, you should first carefully observe the characteristics of the patient's skin. If the skin has strong tolerance, you can try a small range and low concentration of the initial combination, and observe it closely. At the beginning, it is advisable to apply glycolic acid first, and after the skin adapts for a few days, then apply adapalene, and strictly control the dosage and frequency according to the doctor's instructions.
If the patient's skin is already sensitive and delicate, the use of the combination should be especially cautious. Or you can use a soothing and repairing agent to nourish the skin first, and then try it when its tolerance is slightly increased.
In short, although adapalene and glycolic acid have their own strengths, their compatible applications must be weighed against the pros and cons. According to the specific situation of the patient's skin, precise application of medicine can achieve safe and effective treatment.
