An analysis of whether glycolic acid toner and arbutin can be used together
There is a question about skin care today, whether glycolic acid toner and arbutin can be used together. Glycolic acid is a type of fruit acid, which has the power of rejuvenating the skin, can exfoliate, promote the metabolism of the skin, and make the skin smooth and radiant. Arbutin is known as whitening, which can inhibit tyrosinase activity, block melanin production, and achieve the effect of brightening the skin.

To know whether the two are compatible, it is necessary to investigate their chemistry and effect on the skin. Glycolic acid is acidic and can lower the pH of the skin. Arbutin chemistry is relatively stable, but it may change in a specific acid-base environment. Theoretically, the acidic environment of glycolic acid toner may not cause large changes in the structure of arbutin. The combination of the two may have the benefits of both rejuvenation and whitening.

However, individual skin is different. Some people have sensitive skin, and glycolic acid is already irritating. Adding arbutin may cause discomfort, such as redness and tingling. Therefore, it is recommended to try it on a small scale before use. Take a small amount of glycolic acid toner and apply it behind the ear or inside the forearm with arbutin-containing products, and observe for 24-48 hours. If there is no adverse reaction, it can be used normally.

In short, glycolic acid toner and arbutin may be matched, but it varies from skin to skin. The way of skin care is to be cautious, so as to ensure skin health and obtain the effect of skin care.
