On the Compatibility of Ceramides and Glycolic Acid
Recently, in the way of skin care, the combination of ceramides and glycolic acid has attracted much attention. Ceramides, the lipids inherent in the stratum corneum of the skin, are also very useful in maintaining the skin barrier, locking water and moisturizing. If the skin does not have such lipids, it is still short of bricks and stones, moisture is easy to disperse, and external evil is easy to invade.

And glycolic acid, which belongs to fruit acids and the like, has the function of rejuvenating the skin. It can exfoliate, promote the metabolism of the skin, make the skin smooth and tender, and help improve pigmentation and fine lines.

But can the two be applied together? When it comes to this, it is necessary to observe its nature. Glycolic acid is strong. If the concentration is slightly higher, it may cause skin irritation, causing skin redness and tingling. Although ceramides can protect the skin barrier, when exposed to strong acid, their structure may be affected.

If the skin has strong tolerance, you can try it carefully. Before the local skin, use it on a small scale to observe the skin's reaction. If there is no discomfort, you can gradually increase the range. Pay attention to the order when using it. Usually use ceramide as a base, wait for it to penetrate the skin slightly, and then use glycolic acid products, which may reduce the skin's irritation.

Those with sensitive skin must be cautious. Cover sensitive skin is inherently fragile, and apply the two together, which may cause skin damage and allergies. Such people, etc., may first nourish skin tolerance, use gentle skin care methods to gradually strengthen the skin barrier, and then try the compatibility of the two.

In general, although ceramide and glycolic acid have their own strengths, they are used in combination. When using it carefully according to your own skin condition, you can achieve the best effect of skin care and keep your skin healthy.
