On the compatibility of ceramide and glycolic acid
The method of skin care, pay attention to the proper combination of various ingredients. Today on the compatibility of ceramide and glycolic acid, both of which have unique effects in the field of skin care.

Ceramide is a key lipid component in the stratum corneum of the skin. Its structure is like the "adhesive" of the skin, which can effectively maintain the integrity of the skin barrier, prevent moisture loss, and keep the skin hydrated and smooth. It can relieve skin discomfort and enhance the skin's ability to resist external stimuli.

Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid with excellent exfoliation effect. It can accelerate the metabolism of stratum corneum cells, promote the shedding of old waste keratin, and make the skin glow. At the same time, it also helps to improve the skin texture and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and pigmentation.

However, the use of the two together requires careful consideration. The acidic properties of glycolic acid may cause certain irritation to the skin. If the skin is not well tolerated, rashly combining ceramide with glycolic acid may cause adverse reactions such as skin redness, swelling, and tingling.

Although ceramide can strengthen the skin barrier, its repair function may not be able to immediately offset the irritation in the initial stage of skin stimulation by glycolic acid. Therefore, it is recommended to evaluate your own skin tolerance first. If it is well-tolerated skin, you can try a small range and low concentration initial combination. For example, apply low-concentration glycolic acid products to the local skin first, observe for a few days, if there is no discomfort, then use with ceramide products, and pay attention to the frequency of use, not too high.

For poorly tolerated skin, it is recommended to focus on repairing the skin barrier with ceramide products. After the skin is stable, try to add glycolic acid products cautiously, and pay close attention to the skin's reaction throughout the process. In this way, ceramide and glycolic acid can be properly used to achieve the ideal skin care effect and avoid the risk of skin damage.
