When it comes to the superposition of vitamin C and glycolic acid, everyone seeks the best for skin care. Vitamin C and glycolic acid are both common products in skin care, but the advantages and disadvantages of using the two in combination need to be explored in detail.
Vitamin C has antioxidant properties, can help the skin resist the damage of free radicals, make the skin radiant, and helps in the production of collagen, making the skin firm. Glycolic acid, which is a fruit acid and the like, can gently exfoliate, smooth pores, improve skin texture, and make the skin delicate and smooth.
If you want to use it superimposed, you should review the nature of the skin. Those with weak skin sensitivity should be cautious. Vitamin C is acidic, and glycolic acid is also acidic. The combination of the two may cause excessive acidity of the skin and cause discomfort, such as redness, tingling, and itching.
When you want to stack, you can try it before a small piece of skin. After washing the skin, apply a small amount of product thinly, and wait for a few days to see if there is any abnormality in the skin. If there is no adverse reaction, you can gradually expand the scope of use.
The order of use should also be paid attention to. Or apply vitamin C first, until it is fully absorbed, and then use glycolic acid; or vice versa. However, regardless of the order, you should ensure that the former product has been absorbed by the skin, and then use the latter.
And the frequency of superposition should not be too high. At the beginning, once to twice a week is appropriate, and when the skin adapts, it can be increased as appropriate. If the skin is ill during this period, stop using it immediately and seek medical advice.
In short, vitamin C is used in combination with glycolic acid. If you follow the correct method according to the characteristics of the skin, it may have a good effect and make the skin in a good state; otherwise, it may harm the skin. Maintenance matters need to be careful to achieve the desire of skin beauty.
