On the principle of sharing glycolic acid and tranexamic acid
The beauty of the skin is shared by everyone. In the way of skin care, the compatibility of ingredients is related to efficacy and safety. Today on the matter of sharing glycolic acid and tranexamic acid.
Glycolic acid belongs to the family of fruit acids and is lively. Its molecules are tiny and can travel smoothly between skin textures. It can loosen the adhesion of keratinocytes, make the old waste keratin quietly fall off, and the skin is delicate and smooth. And it can stimulate the vitality of skin metabolism, promote the regeneration of collagen, make the skin full and elastic, like spring back to the earth, full of vitality.
Tranexamic acid, also known as coagulant acid. It was first used in the medical field to stop bleeding, but later found that it has special effects on skin whitening. It can inhibit the activity of tyrosinase and block the production path of melanin, just like cutting off the source, melanin is difficult to form a climate, and the skin gradually becomes fair and clear.
The two are shared, which seems to be contrary, but in fact it hides a wonderful truth. When glycolic acid rejuvenates the skin, although it brings new opportunities to the skin, it may also cause short-term sensitivity to the skin, just like the city gate is wide open, and the defense is slightly lax. Tranexamic acid has anti-inflammatory properties, which can soothe skin's discomfort and stabilize the skin's defense line. And the whitening power of tranexamic acid is assisted by glycolic acid. Because glycolic acid accelerates skin renewal, tranexamic acid can act more efficiently on new cells, and the whitening effect is also increased.
When sharing, you need to be cautious. Glycolic acid is strong, and the concentration is too high, or it may cause burns, redness, and tingling of the skin. Although tranexamic acid is mild, it may also be intolerant to individuals. Therefore, when using it for the first time, it is advisable to try it on a small scale to observe the skin's reaction. And the concentration and frequency should be controlled, starting from low concentration and frequency, and then adjusted as appropriate when the skin adapts.
In short, if glycolic acid and tranexamic acid are properly matched, they can complement each other and add luster to the skin; if they are used inappropriately, they may harm the skin. Skin care matters must be fine in order to achieve the wish of skin beauty.
