An Analysis of Whether Glycolic Acid and Niacinamide Can Mix
There are skin care methods in the world, which are related to the combination of ingredients. Glycolic acid and niacinamide are often used for skin care, but whether they can be mixed has different opinions. Today, we will explore in detail.

Glycolic acid is a type of fruit acid, which has the ability to exfoliate. It can exfoliate the old exfoliation on the surface of the skin, rejuvenate the skin, make the skin smoother and more delicate, and is beneficial for promoting the metabolism of the skin and helping the skin absorb nutrients. Niacinamide is also a good skin care product, which can effectively improve the dullness of the skin, even the skin tone, improve the glow of the skin, and has the effect of repairing the skin barrier, which can enhance

At first, some commentators said that glycolic acid and nicotinamide cannot be mixed. Due to the acidic nature of glycolic acid, nicotinamide may undergo a chemical reaction in an acidic environment to form niacin. Although niacin also has the effect of skin care, if the concentration is not properly controlled, it is easy to cause skin discomfort, such as redness, tingling, etc. This statement is reasonable at first glance, which makes everyone panic. However, there are concerns about both.

However, with the deepening of research, there are also different opinions. Many experiments have shown that if the concentration and formula of the two are appropriate, it is not impossible to mix them. If the chemical structure of nicotinamide is stabilized under a specific process, it is not easy to convert into niacin even if it coexists with glycolic acid. And some skin care product manufacturers have successfully launched products containing glycolic acid and nicotinamide after repeated experiments, with good user feedback and no obvious adverse reactions.

From this point of view, the feasibility of mixing glycolic acid and nicotinamide depends on concentration control and formula design. If you can study the theory and follow the scientific method, the two may complement each other and bring better results to skin care. The most important thing in skin care is scientific prudence. Don't make judgments based on one-sided words. Only by using empirical evidence can you find a suitable skin care method.
