Glycolic Acid What Not to Use With
Contraindications on the use of fruit acid
Fruit acid is unique in nature, used properly, and has remarkable effect; if it is not compatible, it will harm the skin. Therefore, it is very important to understand that fruit acid cannot be used with anything.

First, fruit acid should not be used with soap cleansing products. Soap-based people are mostly alkaline, while fruit acid is acidic. When acid and alkali meet, it is easy to cause a neutralization reaction, which not only damages the effect of fruit acid, but also causes the skin to have an acid-base imbalance. The skin has its own stable acid-base environment. Once it is out of balance, dryness, itching, and allergies may follow.

Second, high-concentration alcohol products should also be kept away from fruit acid. Alcohol is highly volatile and irritating. It is applied to the skin together with fruit acid, and its irritation is superimposed. If the skin is delicate, it may be difficult to bear, or it may appear red, swollen and tingling. Over time, the skin barrier will be damaged, and the power to resist external aggression will be greatly reduced.

Third, substances containing retinoic acids should not be used in combination with fruit acids. Both retinoic acid and fruit acid have the function of promoting keratin metabolism. When used in the same way, keratin metabolism is too fast, and the skin may appear to be excessively flaking. The skin becomes thinner and more sensitive, and it is more vulnerable to external factors such as ultraviolet rays, and even causes inflammation.

Fourth, peroxide products should not be compatible with fruit acids. Peroxides are highly oxidizing, meeting with fruit acid, or changing the chemical structure of fruit acid, causing its efficacy to be lost. At the same time, harmful by-products may be generated, endangering skin health.

Those who use fruit acid must carefully check the ingredients used to avoid its taboos, in order to achieve skin beauty without the risk of skin damage. Cut!
