On the compatibility of snail mucus and glycolic acid
The key to skin care is product compatibility. Now there is a question about whether Cosrx Snail Mucin and Glycolic Acid can be combined, and it should be explored in detail.

Snail mucus is rich in many nourishing ingredients, such as protein, vitamins and minerals. It is mild in nature, has the power of moisturizing and repairing the skin, can moisturize the skin and strengthen the skin barrier. It can relieve dry and rough skin, promote skin metabolism, and restore the smooth and delicate state of the skin.

Glycolic acid is a member of fruit acid and belongs to the genus α-hydroxy acid. Its molecules are tiny, can quickly penetrate the surface of the skin, exfoliate old waste keratin, smooth pores, brighten skin tone, and can also stimulate collagen production, making the skin firm and elastic. However, it is more intense, and high concentrations may cause skin discomfort, such as tingling and redness.

As to whether the two are compatible, it is necessary to be cautious. The mild properties of snail mucus may buffer the stimulation of glycolic acid, but the acidity of glycolic acid may affect the activity of some ingredients in snail mucus. If the skin is well tolerated, it can be tried on a small scale to observe the skin reaction. Use snail mucus as a base first, and apply glycolic acid products after a while, and the starting concentration should be low, and the dosage and frequency should be gradually increased. If the skin feels uncomfortable, such as burning, itching, it should be discontinued.

For most skin care, your mileage may vary. For skin well-being, before trying new combinations, it is advisable to consult a professional or test sensitivity on small pieces of skin.
