On the use of ceramide and glycolic acid
The nourishment of the skin is related to the use of various things. Ceramide and glycolic acid have attracted much attention in the way of skin care, but whether they can be mixed and used should be discussed in detail.

Ceramide is also an important component of the stratum corneum of the skin. It forms a film on the surface of the skin to protect the skin from foreign objects, keep the skin hydrated, and make the skin moist and smooth. If ceramide is missing in the skin, the barrier function of the stratum corneum is damaged, and the skin is prone to dry and sensitive states.

Glycolic acid belongs to the class of fruit acids and has excellent exfoliation power. It can loosen the connection between keratinocytes, promote the exfoliation of old waste keratin, make the skin surface look new, and stimulate the production of collagen, making the skin firm and shiny. However, its acidic properties, if used improperly, can easily cause redness and tingling of the skin, especially for sensitive skin.

As for whether the two can be mixed, it is necessary to be cautious. Although ceramides can protect the skin, the exfoliation effect of glycolic acid may cause the skin barrier to become weaker in the short term. If mixed with high concentrations of two, the skin may be difficult to bear and easy to cause discomfort.

However, under moderate circumstances, the two are not absolutely impossible to mix. Low-concentration glycolic acid products, with ceramides, may use the power of ceramides to protect the skin's barrier when improving the texture of the skin. For example, first use ceramide-containing products as a base, wait a moment, and then apply low-concentration glycolic acid products thinly after the skin absorbs, so as to reduce the irritation of glycolic acid to the skin and obtain the synergistic effect of the two.

In short, the key to mixing ceramide and glycolic acid is to use it reasonably according to its own skin characteristics, such as dryness, oiliness, sensitivity, etc., as well as the concentration of the product. If used properly, it can complement each other and nourish the skin better; if used improperly, it may hurt the skin. When it is for skin care, try it carefully. If there is any discomfort, stop using it immediately to ensure the safety of the skin.
