Glycolic Acid and Alpha Arbutin Compatibility
Discussion on whether glycolic acid and arbutin can be shared
The person with glycolic acid has the power of rejuvenation, can exfoliate, smooth the metabolism of the skin, make the skin radiant and smooth. Arbutin is long for suppressing blackening and whitening, can prevent melanin production, lighten the skin with light spots, and is a good product for fair skin. The two are good at skin care.

However, the method of skin care pays attention to compatibility. Glycolic acid is strong and highly irritating. Although arbutin is mild, the two share or conflict. Glycolic acid exfoliates the skin, making the skin barrier temporarily weak. At this time, arbutin penetrates too much, or causes skin intolerance, causing discomfort, such as redness and itching.

Furthermore, from the perspective of chemistry, the acidic environment of glycolic acid may affect the stability of arbutin, resulting in the loss of its black suppression effect. And the two active ingredients interact, or produce unknown variables, which is unfavorable to skin health.

Therefore, those who want to use glycolic acid and arbutin should be cautious. Try it with a small area of skin first and observe its reaction. If there is no discomfort, it can be used in combination gradually, but it is still necessary to pay close attention to the skin condition. Or consult a professional first and customize a suitable method according to your own skin type, so as to enjoy the benefits of both skin care and avoid their combined harm, and achieve the best state of skin care.
