Discussion on the Sharing of Glycolic Acid and Retinol
Recently, on the online forum Reddit, people are hot about the sharing of glycolic acid and retinol. Both of these are highly regarded ingredients in the field of skin care, but the effects and effects of their sharing vary.

Some commentators believe that glycolic acid is a fruit acid, which has the ability to gently exfoliate, which can promote the exfoliation of old waste keratin on the surface of the skin, make the skin smoother and more delicate, and can improve the absorption of subsequent skin care products. Retinol can effectively promote cell metabolism, stimulate collagen production, and has a significant effect on improving skin fine lines and enhancing skin firmness. The combination of the two may achieve synergistic results, making the skin glow in a better state.

However, some people who are cautious have suggested that both glycolic acid and retinol are irritating to a certain extent. If used at the same time, it may over-irritate the skin, causing discomfort such as redness, tingling, dryness, etc. Especially for people with sensitive skin, it is necessary to be more cautious. It is recommended that in the early stage of use, you should try it on the local skin first to observe whether there are any adverse reactions. And the frequency of use should also be gradual and should not be used frequently.

Another point of view is that the order of use is also crucial. Some people believe that using glycolic acid first, after the skin absorbs it, and then using retinol can reduce the irritation of the two directly touching the skin. Others argue for the reverse order, arguing that retinol is primed first, and when glycolic acid acts later, it may more accurately target activated cells.

To sum up, glycolic acid and retinol are shared, and opportunities and challenges coexist. Users should carefully consider and choose the way of use according to their own skin conditions, so that they can not only achieve the desired effect on the road of pursuing beautiful skin, but also ensure skin health.
