On the combination of psoralen and glycolic acid

The way of medicine is related to skin recuperation, and the compatibility of medication needs to be cautious. Today there are psoralen and glycolic acid, both of which have their own functions in skin care, but whether they can be used together should be explored in detail.

Psoralen is derived from plants, mild in nature, has antioxidant effects, can slow down skin aging, help calm fine lines, and is less irritating to the skin. Glycolic acid is a type of fruit acid, which can loosen the connection between keratinocytes, promote the shedding of the stratum corneum, refresh the skin, and improve uneven and rough skin tone.

If the two are used together, the synergistic effect may enhance the skin's rejuvenation. The mild antioxidant of psoralen can slightly slow the irritation of glycolic acid, which makes the skin surface renewed, or helps psoralen better penetrate.

When used together, there are also risks. Glycolic acid has a certain irritation, and those with sensitive skin may be intolerable. It is used with psoralen. Although psoralen can slightly reduce irritation, it still needs to be paid attention. For the first time, it is recommended to try it on a small scale to see if there is any discomfort in the skin, such as redness, tingling, itching, etc. And the frequency of use also needs to be controlled, and it should not be too frequent to avoid skin damage.

The way of medication, your mileage may vary. For those with healthy skin and strong tolerance, the combination of the two may achieve good results; for those with sensitive and fragile skin, it should be done with caution. Consult a professional doctor if necessary, according to your own skin condition, weigh the pros and cons, and determine a combined policy to ensure skin health and achieve the purpose of recuperation.
