On the Avoidance and Compatibility of Glycolic Acid
Glycolic Acid has attracted much attention in the way of skin care, but its use also has many taboos. Now discuss in detail the things that should not be used in combination with it, hope to be able to clearly detect, so as to avoid misuse and harm.

Glycolic acid and strong alkaline substances must not be used in combination. Glycolic acid is acidic, and when it encounters strong alkaline substances, it will cause a violent chemical reaction. This reaction not only damages its skin care effect, but also fears the formation of harmful substances and damage to the skin. If the two are mixed, the skin may be corroded, redness and tingling in the light, and ulceration and scars in the severe. Don't be careless.

Benzoyl peroxide should also be avoided with glycolic acid. When the two meet, the strong oxidative properties of benzoyl peroxide interact with glycolic acid, or cause allergic reactions to the skin. If itching is intolerable, red rashes are widespread, and even swelling is difficult to eliminate. This is because the two are compatible, disrupting the normal metabolism and defense mechanism of the skin, making the skin unbearable.

Retinoic acid drugs should not be used with glycolic acid. Retinoic acid is already highly irritating to the skin, and it is used in combination with glycolic acid to stimulate the superposition. The tolerance of the skin will be severely tested. It is easy to cause dry skin, desquamation, like dry and cracked soil, and even cause inflammation, which is difficult to heal and increases the suffering of patients.

And glycolic acid and high-concentration vitamin C are not a good match. Although both have the ability to beautify the skin, when used together, or the chemical structure is changed due to interaction, not only the effect is greatly reduced, but also unstable intermediates may be produced, posing a potential threat to the skin.

In summary, when using glycolic acid, be sure to carefully review the compatibility with it. Avoid those who are not suitable for use in combination, so as to keep the skin healthy and enjoy the benefits of glycolic acid skin care without fear of harm.
