On the compatibility of arbutin and glycolic acid toner
The way of skin care, the compatibility of ingredients is very important. The combination of arbutin and glycolic acid toner is really a matter of concern to everyone.

Arbutin has excellent whitening effect, can block the activity of tyrosinase, thereby reducing the production of melanin, making the skin fair and translucent. Its relatively mild nature is quite common in many whitening skin care products.

Glycolic acid toner, containing glycolic acid, which is a kind of fruit acid. Glycolic acid molecules are small, can penetrate deep into the stratum corneum of the skin, promote keratinocyte renewal, improve skin metabolism, make skin delicate and smooth, and also have the ability to brighten skin tone. However, it is irritating to a certain extent, and those with sensitive skin may need to be used with caution.

If you want to use it in combination with arbutin and glycolic acid toner, you need to consider it carefully. From the perspective of chemical properties, there is no serious chemical reaction between the two. However, glycolic acid can cause the stratum corneum of the skin to thin and enhance skin permeability. At this time, if arbutin is superimposed, it may cause excessive absorption of arbutin by the skin and increase the burden on the skin.

Furthermore, the acidity of glycolic acid may affect the stability of arbutin. If the two are used together, it may be necessary to pay attention to the pH value and formula design of the product to ensure the activity and stability of the ingredients.

In actual use, if the skin has strong tolerance, you can try it locally first to observe whether there is any discomfort, such as tingling, redness, etc. If there is no abnormality, then gradually expand the scope of use. If the skin is sensitive, or has a history of allergies to fruit acids and whitening ingredients, use it with caution, or consult a professional first.

In general, although arbutin and glycolic acid toner are not absolutely incompatible, when they are used together, be sure to weigh the advantages and disadvantages, and choose carefully according to your skin condition, in order to achieve the best of skin care and maintain skin health.
