Glycolic Acid and Retinol

The nourishment of the husband's skin, glycolic acid and retinol are both wonderful things, but compared with the two, which is the best choice, there are different opinions.

Glycolic acid belongs to the group of fruit acids, whose molecules are slender and can flow smoothly through the stratum corneum of the skin. With it, the keratin is loosened, the metabolism is fast, the old mass is removed and the new muscle is generated, the skin is tender and smooth, and the color is also uniform. And it has the ability to moisturize, which can attract water to the skin, making the skin moist but not dry. For those who are new to skin care and want to gently rejuvenate the skin, glycolic acid is a good choice, which can gradually change the skin texture and reduce the worry of irritation.

Retinol has outstanding effect. It can promote cell renewal, collagen regeneration, make the skin firm and elastic, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It can also regulate oil secretion. For oily and combination skin, it can control oil and prevent acne. However, retinol is strong. For the first time, the skin may have discomfort, such as redness, desquamation, etc., and the dosage needs to be gradually increased to make the skin suitable.

If the skin is delicate, weak tolerance, and wants to gently improve dullness and roughness, glycolic acid is better. If the skin has a certain tolerance, and has anti-aging and oil control needs, retinol is good.

Both have their own strengths, and the one who chooses them should be broken according to their own skin type and desired effect, so that the function of skin care can be achieved to the best.
