The Compatibility of Glycolic Acid and Peptide (Matrixyl)
The key to skin care is the combination of ingredients. Glycolic acid, a type of fruit acid, has the power of rejuvenating the skin, can promote keratin metabolism, make the skin smooth and delicate, and can increase skin hydration. Peptide (Matrixyl) focuses on stimulating collagen production, helping the skin tighten and reduce wrinkles. Both are excellent skin care products, but whether they can be used together is a concern for beauty lovers.

Glycolic acid has acidic properties and a low pH value. Although peptides are relatively mild in nature, high concentrations of glycolic acid may cause changes in the skin environment and affect peptide activity. If the two are used in combination, it may cause skin discomfort, such as tingling, redness, etc. Gaiyin glycolic acid makes the skin barrier temporarily weak, and peptides may also be irritating to the skin. When superimposed, the burden on the skin will increase.

However, studies have also shown that if the concentration of the two is suitable and the user's skin is well tolerated, it can also be matched. At the beginning of use, it is recommended to try a small amount first to observe the skin's reaction. If the skin is the same, the dosage and frequency can be gradually increased. And when using, it is recommended to use it at intervals, such as morning and evening, to reduce the risk of skin discomfort.

In short, the combination of glycolic acid and peptides needs to be done carefully according to the individual skin type. People with sensitive skin should be especially cautious and consult a professional if necessary to protect the skin's safety and effectiveness.
