"On the efficacy of glycolic acid and salicylic acid"

Fuglycolic acid and salicylic acid are both acids used in skin care, with different effects and their own strengths.

Glycolic acid is a fruit acid and the like, with very small molecules, which can quickly penetrate the surface of the skin. Its first function is exfoliation, which can loosen the connection between keratinocytes, make old keratin fall off, and make the skin surface smooth and delicate, like a new life. And it can promote skin metabolism, accelerate cell renewal, stimulate skin vitality, make skin tone more uniform and shiny, and the dark yellow state gradually disappears.

Furthermore, glycolic acid is also effective in moisturizing. It can increase the moisture content of the skin. After exfoliation, the skin can absorb and retain moisture, and the skin is moist and elastic, just like the jade of water.

And salicylic acid, which is a fat-soluble acid, can penetrate deep into the pores. In the case of anti-acne, the effect is outstanding. It can clean up the oil and dirt in the pores, inhibit the growth of Propionibacterium acne, so it can reduce the redness and inflammation of acne-prone skin, prevent the regeneration of acne, and restore the skin to a flat and smooth surface.

At the same time, salicylic acid has anti-inflammatory properties, which can relieve skin inflammation. For sensitive and reddish skin, it has a soothing and calming effect, making the skin calm and stable, like the waves on the lake.

Glycolic acid focuses on the renewal and moisturization of the surface of the skin, while salicylic acid focuses on pore cleansing and anti-inflammatory and anti-acne. The two effects are different. Skin care providers should choose carefully according to their own skin characteristics to achieve the purpose of optimal skin care and make the skin glow.
