On the Compatibility of Glycolic Acid and Niacinamide
The pharmacology of Wenfu Medicine, the compatibility of various medicines, there is a need to use each other, there is a fear of each other to kill each other, its theory is subtle, and it is related to the profit and loss of drug efficacy. The compatibility of glycolic acid and niacinamide is also important for doctors.
Glycolic acid is active and has many benefits for the keratin metabolism of the skin. It can soften the keratin, loosen it and fall off, make the skin surface smooth and delicate, and promote the regeneration of collagen in the dermis, making the skin firm and elastic.
Niacinamide is good at regulating the metabolism of the skin, can inhibit the transport of melanosomes, block it to keratinocytes, and then make the skin shiny and fair. And it can increase the function of skin barrier, retain water and moisturize, and relieve dry skin.
The two are matched. Glycolic acid, with its ability to exfoliate, helps nicotinamide to be better absorbed through the skin. This is also a phase. Niacinamide slows the stimulation of glycolic acid to the stratum corneum, making the work of glycolic acid more stable without the harm of severe intensity. It complements each other and plays a beautiful effect on the skin.
When it is compatible, it is also necessary to be careful. Glycolic acid is strong, and nicotinamide is combined with it. If the concentration and ratio are inappropriate, or the skin is intolerant, it will appear red, swollen and tingling. Therefore, when a doctor uses it, he must carefully review the quality of the patient's skin, or try it at a low concentration first, observe its reaction, and gradually adjust it to the appropriate level, in order to ensure safety and achieve good results.
The wonders of medical medicine, with one mind, in the compatibility of drugs, weigh the pros and cons, and act prudently, it will be a blessing for the health of the common people.
