On the compatibility of glycolic acid and hexapeptide
The way of skin care, the compatibility of ingredients, related to efficacy and skin comfort, must not be ignored. Today, the compatibility of glycolic acid and hexapeptide is quite popular.

Glycolic acid belongs to the fruit acid family and is lively. Its molecules are small and can travel smoothly in the stratum corneum of the skin, loosen the "adhesion" between keratinocytes, promote keratin renewal, and refresh the surface of the skin. It is often a choice for skin rejuvenation and brightening. However, it also has a certain irritation. If the skin is delicate and sensitive, it may appear briefly red and tingling when first used.

Hexapeptide, which is similar to a neurotransmitter blocker, acts on the junction between nerves and muscles, can relieve muscle contraction, reduce dynamic wrinkles, and is like a "relaxant" for the skin. It is a commonly used ingredient in the field of anti-wrinkle, and it is relatively mild and friendly to most skin types.

As for whether the two can be used together, it depends on the skin type. For healthy and well-tolerated skin, glycolic acid is compatible with hexapeptide, which may achieve the dual effect of skin rejuvenation and anti-wrinkle. Glycolic acid opens the skin's absorption channel, helps hexapeptide to penetrate more easily, and exerts anti-wrinkle power; the gentle properties of hexapeptide may also slow the stimulation of glycolic acid.

However, sensitive skin should be used with caution. The stimulation of glycolic acid may cause damage to the skin barrier, and the combination of hexapeptide may have synergistic benefits in theory, but the skin may not be able to withstand it, resulting in reactive allergies, inflammation and other diseases.

Therefore, those who want to use glycolic acid and hexapeptide together should first test the sensitivity of the local skin and observe its reaction. And in the initial stage, reduce the frequency and concentration of the two, and gradually increase, so that the skin can gradually adapt. In this way, the purpose of skin care can be achieved and the skin can be kept healthy.
