When it comes to whether fruit acid and retinol can be combined with
today's skin care approach, everyone seeks significant and suitable matching effects. Among them, glycolic acid in fruit acid and retinol have their own effects, but whether they can be used together is worth exploring.

Glycolic acid is a kind of fruit acid, which has small molecules and high activity. It can penetrate deep into the skin, loosen the connection between keratinocytes, promote the renewal of the stratum corneum, make the skin surface old and waste keratin shedding, make the skin smooth and delicate, and can stimulate collagen production, improve skin quality, and enhance skin gloss.

Retinol, a vitamin A derivative, has long been famous in the field of skin care. It can accelerate skin metabolism, promote cell renewal, effectively improve wrinkles, fine lines, and improve skin elasticity. At the same time, it also has a regulating effect on skin problems such as acne, dredging pores and reducing oil secretion.

However, when used in combination with the two, it needs to be treated with caution. Glycolic acid is acidic and can reduce the pH value of the skin, while retinol has poor stability in an acidic environment, or it may reduce its activity and affect the skin care effect. And both are irritating. If used at the same time, it requires high tolerance to the skin. A little carelessness can easily cause skin discomfort, such as redness, tingling, dryness and desquamation.

If the skin has strong tolerance and wants to try both, you can start with low-concentration products and use them at intervals. For example, use glycolic acid products during the day and retinol products at night; or use glycolic acid every other day and retinol every other day. During use, pay close attention to the skin's reaction. If there is any discomfort, stop using it immediately.

In short, although glycolic acid and retinol of fruit acid have excellent skin care effects, whether they can be used together depends on the individual skin condition. Do not act rashly. Be sure to take care of skin health as the first criterion.
