On whether it is appropriate to share glycolic acid and vitamin C essence
for skin care, there are various methods, and there are many elegant studies on the use of products together. Today, whether glycolic acid and vitamin C essence can be used together is really related to the profit and loss of the skin, which cannot be ignored.

Glycolic acid is a type of fruit acid, which has the ability to exfoliate. It can loosen the connection between keratinocytes, make old keratin fall off, make the skin surface smooth and delicate, and can stimulate the synthesis of collagen in the dermis to improve the texture and color of the skin. However, its nature is irritating. If the skin is sensitive, it may cause discomfort, such as redness and tingling.

Vitamin C serum is long in antioxidant. It can capture free radicals, prevent their damage to skin cells, and help collagen synthesis, increase skin elasticity, and inhibit tyrosinase activity, achieving whitening and light spots.

As for whether the two can be used together, it should be analyzed in detail. If the skin has strong tolerance, the two can be used together or synergistically. After exfoliation with glycolic acid, the skin can better absorb vitamin C, strengthen antioxidant and whitening power. However, for skin with weak tolerance, combined use may cause drawbacks. Glycolic acid causes the skin barrier to be temporarily weak, and the acidity of vitamin C may exacerbate irritation, causing skin redness, itching, and even allergies.

Therefore, those who want to use glycolic acid and vitamin C serum together should check their own skin condition first. Those with strong tolerance can try it step by step, reduce the dosage and frequency at the beginning, and observe the skin reaction. If there is any discomfort, stop using it immediately. For those with weak tolerance, in order to protect the health of the skin, or use it in different periods, use vitamin C serum during the day to resist oxidation, and use glycolic acid products at night, and do a good job of moisturizing and repairing after use. In this way, it is appropriate to take care of the skin and avoid skin damage.
