"On the Comparison of Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid in Common Products"

There are two acids in the world, called glycolic acid (Glycolic Acid) and lactic acid (Lactic Acid), which are common in daily products. The two have their own characteristics, which are discussed in detail today.

Glycolic acid is more active and has small molecules, so it can quickly penetrate the surface of the skin and has a significant effect on rejuvenation. If the product contains glycolic acid, when used for the first time, it may feel slightly itchy on the skin. This is a sign that it penetrates deep into the skin and promotes keratin renewal. With long-term use, the skin will gradually glow, the roughness will gradually disappear, and fine lines will also be reduced. Glycolic acid can loosen the connection between keratinocytes, causing old waste keratin to fall off, new cells can float, and the skin will look young.

However, the nature of lactic acid is slightly slower. The molecule of lactic acid is slightly larger, and its penetration into the skin is not as rapid as glycolic acid. However, its mildness is also popular with everyone. Lactic acid is on the moisturizing end, and its effect is outstanding. When applied to the skin with products containing lactic acid, it feels moisturized. Glycolic acid can absorb moisture in the air and retain it in the skin, making the skin always hydrated. And lactic acid is also beneficial in adjusting the acid-base balance of the skin, so that the skin is in a healthy acid-base environment.

Among common products, those who use glycolic acid are mostly good for those who want to quickly rejuvenate and improve the texture of their skin. Such as facial scrubs, which use the power of glycolic acid to exfoliate and smooth the skin. Products containing lactic acid, such as moisturizing creams, are especially suitable for people with sensitive skin and need gentle maintenance. It can take care of the skin while hydrating and moisturizing, without causing the risk of allergies.

In summary, glycolic acid and lactic acid have their own strengths. Those who want to quickly rejuvenate and exfoliate should choose glycolic acid products; while those who revisit and moisturize and balance the skin, lactic acid is the best. Users should choose carefully according to the nature of their own skin in order to achieve the wonders of skin care.
