Benzoyl Peroxide and Glycolic Acid Toner Compatibility
Discussion on the Compatibility of Peroxybenzoyl and Glycolic Acid Toner
Recently, many people have explored the method of skin care. The common question is: "Can peroxybenzoyl be used with glycolic acid toner?" The two have their own functions in the field of skin care, but the effect and compatibility of their combination need to be carefully investigated.
Peroxybenzoyl is often a good acne product. It acts on the skin, can release new ecological oxygen and benzoic acid, can inhibit Propionibacterium acne, and has the ability to exfoliate, help the stratum corneum fall off, and prevent hair follicle blockage. And glycolic acid toner, containing glycolic acid, is a fruit acid. This acid molecule is small and has good permeability. It can remove the old waste keratin on the surface of the skin, promote the metabolism of the skin, make the skin more smooth and tender, and also have the effect of brightening the skin.
However, if the two are used together, there is a risk. Peroxybenzoyl has strong oxidation, and glycolic acid is acidic. When the two meet, or cause a chemical reaction, the decomposition of peroxybenzoyl is accelerated, and its original acne-removing effect is lost. And the reaction or generation of irritants can irritate the skin, causing redness, swelling, tingling, itching and other discomforts, especially for sensitive skin, which is more harmful.
Therefore, if it is not guided by professionals, it is not recommended to use peroxybenzoyl and glycolic acid toner at the same time. If you want to improve a variety of skin problems, you can use it in time. Choose glycolic acid toner during the day to rejuvenate the skin with its exfoliation and brightening ability; use peroxybenzoyl at night to remove acne during sleep. In this way, it can not only avoid the risk of direct contact between the two, but also reap the benefits of skin care.
In short, the way of skin care needs to be careful. Before using different skin care products, it is necessary to clarify their characteristics and compatibility in order to achieve the purpose of nourishing the skin and avoid skin damage.
