On the method of transporting retinol and glycolic acid
Mrs. skin maintenance, in order to obtain the effect of moisturizing and smoothing and delaying aging, the method of transporting retinol (Alternating Retinol) and glycolic acid (Glycolic Acid) is quite delicate.
Retinol can promote the renewal of skin cells, causing the old stratum corneum to fall off, new cells to emerge, and the skin will be firmed and fine lines will gradually disappear. It acts on the deep layers of the skin, stimulating the production of collagen, making the skin full and elastic. However, retinol is strong, if used alone and frequently, the skin may be intolerant, causing redness, tingling, and desquamation.
Glycolic acid is one of the fruit acids, which has the power of gentle exfoliation. It can dredge pores, improve the rough and dull state of the skin, make the skin surface smoother, and improve the skin's absorption of skin care products. However, if its acidity is excessive, it will also damage the skin barrier.
Therefore, it is used interchangeably to complement each other. First use glycolic acid to gently open the skin channel and gently exfoliate, creating a good environment for retinol to penetrate into the skin later. When the skin is slightly comfortable, then use retinol to give full play to its deep nourishment and promote regeneration. The two are delivered at an interval of time, allowing the skin to recuperate and recuperate.
When using it for the first time, be cautious. Try a small amount first and observe the skin's reaction. If the skin tolerates it, you can gradually increase the dosage and frequency. If you use it in this way, over time, the skin will glow and achieve a delicate, smooth, firm and elastic state. It is actually a good recipe for skin care.
