On the Compatibility of Glycolic Acid Toner and Salicylic Acid Moisturizer

In the way of skin care, the compatibility of products is crucial. Today, it is the key to skin care to explore whether Glycolic Acid Toner and Salicylic Acid Moisturizer can be used together.

Glycolic Acid, a family of fruit acids, has excellent exfoliation ability. It can loosen the adhesion between keratinocytes, make old keratin fall off, make the skin surface smoother and more delicate, and can promote skin metabolism, rejuvenate skin vitality, and improve dull complexion.

Salicylic acid, a fat-soluble organic acid, can penetrate deep into pores and effectively remove oil and dirt that clog pores. It is quite effective for acne, acne and other skin problems, and has a certain anti-inflammatory effect.

However, when used in combination with the two, it should be done with caution. The exfoliating effect of glycolic acid may cause the stratum corneum of the skin to thin, which will reduce the skin's defense. Although salicylic acid is beneficial, it is used in combination with glycolic acid, or it may cause skin irritation. If the skin's tolerance is not good, it may cause redness, tingling, itching and other uncomfortable symptoms.

If you want to use both, it is first appropriate to conduct a skin tolerance test. Before small pieces of skin, such as behind the ear or inside the arm, apply a small amount of glycolic acid toner and salicylic acid moisturizer respectively, and observe for 24 to 48 hours. If there is no abnormality, you can gradually try to use it on the face. When using it for the first time, the frequency should be low, such as once or twice a week. After the skin adapts, adjust the frequency of use moderately.

And during use, be sure to pay attention to skin moisturization and sun protection. Due to the action of exfoliation and salicylic acid, skin moisture is lost or accelerated. Doing a good job of moisturizing can maintain the balance of skin water and oil. And sun protection can prevent skin from aggravating discomfort due to ultraviolet damage.

In short, if glycolic acid toner and salicylic acid moisturizer can be used reasonably and cautiously, it may bring better maintenance effect to the skin; however, if you ignore the skin condition and use them together rashly, it will damage the skin health.
