On the sharing of glycolic acid and hydroquinone
The color of the skin is related to everyone's love of beauty. Today, glycolic acid and hydroquinone are both common in skin care products. However, whether the two can be used together is a matter of concern to everyone.
Glycolic acid is a fruit acid and the like. Its mild nature can often exfoliate the old keratin of the skin, make the skin new, uniform in color, and can promote the production of collagen, making the skin firm and elastic. Hydroquinone is a combination of melanin suppression, and is mostly used for light spot whitening.
If the two are used together, it may have the effect of increasing whitening. The exfoliation of glycolic acid can help hydroquinone better penetrate into the skin and enhance the ability to inhibit melanin; and the whitening of hydroquinone, combined with the rejuvenation of glycolic acid, seems to make the skin more whitening effect.
However, it also needs to be done with caution. Glycolic acid can increase the sensitivity of the skin, and if hydroquinone is used improperly, it may also cause skin discomfort. When used together, the risk of skin irritation may increase. In light cases, the skin is red and itchy; in severe cases, it may cause inflammation.
Those who want to use glycolic acid and hydroquinone should try it before small skin. To see if there is any discomfort in the skin, if there is no abnormality, it can be used gradually. And when using it, the dosage and frequency should be controlled according to the state of the skin. And you need to follow the doctor's advice or follow the guidance of a professional, and you must not use it yourself, so as not to damage the health of the skin.
In short, although glycolic acid and hydroquinone may have the benefits of co-use, safety should be the first, and caution should be used to whiten and keep the skin safe.
