The Compatibility of Glycolic Acid and Vitamin C Serum
The nourishment of the husband's skin, the way of medication, and the appropriate compatibility. There are glycolic acid and vitamin C serums today, and the study of their compatibility is quite important.
Glycolic acid belongs to the fruit acid class, which has the ability to exfoliate, which can make the old and waste exfoliation on the surface of the skin fall off, make the skin new, fine texture and uniform color. Vitamin C serum is rich in strong antioxidant ingredients, which can resist free radicals, help whiten the skin, reduce pigmentation, promote collagen production, and make the skin firm and elastic.
However, whether the two can be used together needs to be carefully investigated. Glycolic acid is acidic and can lower the pH value of the skin surface. Vitamin C may have different stability in an acidic environment. If the two are properly matched, they may complement each other. After exfoliation with glycolic acid, the skin permeability increases, and vitamin C serum is more permeable to exert its effect; the antioxidant properties of vitamin C may help glycolic acid reduce the damage of free radicals generated by exfoliation.
However, there are also risks. If the concentration of the two is too high, or the skin is already sensitive, the combination of the two may cause skin irritation. Symptoms such as redness, tingling, itching, etc. are possible. Because after exfoliation with glycolic acid, the skin barrier is temporarily weakened, and vitamin C may further irritate it.
Therefore, if you want to use glycolic acid and vitamin C serum together, you should try it on a small area of skin first. Check whether it is uncomfortable or not, and if there is no abnormality, you can use it step by step. And at the beginning of use, the frequency should be low, and then adjust it after the skin adapts. In this way, you can seek the best effect of skin care and avoid the risk of overstimulation.
