Glycolic Acid Toner Avoidance List
Glycolic Acid Toner Avoidance List
Glycolic Acid Toner is deeply loved by many people because of its unique skin care effect. However, during use, if it is not properly matched with certain substances, it may not only weaken its skin care effect, but also cause damage to the skin. The following is a list of items to avoid when using glycolic acid toner.

First, high-concentration tretinoic acid products
Tretinoic acid products can effectively improve skin aging and other problems, but high-concentration such products themselves have strong irritation to the skin. If used together with glycolic acid toner, the irritation of the two is superimposed, which can easily cause skin redness, tingling, peeling and other discomfort. Under this double stimulation, the skin barrier may be seriously damaged, causing the skin to become sensitive and fragile, and more vulnerable to damage from the external environment.

Second, strong alkaline cleaning products
Strong alkaline cleaning products have a high pH value and are designed to strongly remove oil and dirt from the surface of the skin. However, glycolic acid toners are acidic, and when used in combination with strong alkaline cleaning products, the acid-base balance on the surface of the skin will be seriously damaged. In this acid-base imbalance state for a long time, the skin's self-regulation function will be affected, and problems such as dryness, roughness, and frequent acne may occur, which is not conducive to the health and stability of the skin.

3. Scrub products
Scrub products remove aging keratin on the surface of the skin by physical friction. The glycolic acid toner itself also has the effect of promoting keratin metabolism and accelerating the shedding of the stratum corneum. Using the two at the same time will over-exfoliate and thin the stratum corneum of the skin. This will reduce the defense ability of the skin, make the skin more vulnerable to external factors such as ultraviolet rays and bacteria, and cause a series of problems such as skin sensitivity and inflammation.

4. Skin care products with high alcohol content
Alcohol has astringent and bactericidal effects, but skin care products with high alcohol content may itself irritate the skin. Glycolic acid toner is also irritating to the skin, and when the two meet, this irritation will be significantly enhanced. This may cause skin burning, itching and other uncomfortable symptoms, especially for people with sensitive skin, it is more likely to cause serious allergic reactions.

When using glycolic acid toner, be sure to avoid pairing with the above items to ensure that the skin care process is safe and effective, and to care for skin health.
