On the Compatibility of Glycolic Acid with AHA and BHA
The nourishment of the husband's skin, the technique of chemistry is gradually improving. Glycolic Acid (Glycolic Acid) belongs to fruit acid (AHA) and the like, which has a significant effect on the metabolism and texture of the skin's keratin. AHA and BHA are also common materials for skin care, but their characteristics are different, and they are suitable for use. It cannot be ignored.
Glycolic acid, a small fruit acid, has strong skin-friendliness, can quickly enter the skin, promote keratin renewal, and rejuvenate the skin's brilliance. AHA has many of these abilities, but the concentration and molecular size are different, and the effect is also different. For BHA, salicylic acid belongs to the genus, with good fat solubility, can enter the depths of pores, clear oil, and prevent acne.
Glycolic acid is used in combination with AHA, and its concentration should be careful. Although all AHA products promote exfoliation, when used together, the total concentration is too high, and the skin may not tolerate it, causing redness, swelling, and itching. Therefore, when using it, when reviewing the tolerance of the skin, it is appropriate to dilute it first and then concentrate it gradually.
As for glycolic acid and BHA, the mechanisms of the two are different. The fat solubility of BHA can make up for the shortcomings of glycolic acid, but it is also risky to use it together. Both exfoliate, superimposed excessively, and the skin barrier is damaged. Users should check the skin condition first, especially for sensitive skin. Or try it locally before it can be expanded without discomfort.
Most skin care is about balance. Although glycolic acid and AHA and BHA have good effects, when used together, the advantages and disadvantages must be weighed to smooth the skin, so as to achieve the purpose of nourishing and repairing, and must not be blindly superimposed, which will damage the skin.
