"On the Difference between Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid Rejuvenation"

The method of skin rejuvenation is quite critical in the way of skin maintenance. Among them, glycolic acid (Glycolic Acid) and lactic acid (Lactic Acid) rejuvenation both have a place in the field of beauty and skin care, but the differences between them cannot be ignored.

Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid with small molecules and strong ability to penetrate the skin. When it rejuvenates the skin, it can quickly act on the surface of the skin, effectively loosen the connections between keratinocytes, make the aging stratum corneum fall off quickly, and then promote skin metabolism. Therefore, it can often see quick results in improving skin roughness, dullness, and fading superficial pigmentation. However, due to its rapid action, those with more sensitive skin may feel tingling, redness and other discomfort when using it. When performing the operation, the concentration and time should be carefully controlled according to the skin type.

Lactic acid is relatively mild and has slightly larger molecules. Although its penetrability is slightly inferior to glycolic acid, its moisturizing performance is excellent. Lactic acid rejuvenation can not only promote the renewal of the stratum corneum, but also form a moisturizing film on the surface of the skin to maintain skin hydration. Suitable for dry and sensitive skin, it can improve skin texture and increase skin glow while causing less strong irritation.

Compared with the two, glycolic acid has a rapid skin rejuvenation effect, which is more suitable for oily and well-tolerated skin. It mainly focuses on keratin metabolism and blemish improvement; lactic acid rejuvenates the skin gently and gently, which is favored by dry and sensitive skin, focusing on moisturizing and gentle rejuvenation. On the occasion of beauty, choose glycolic acid or lactic acid to rejuvenate the skin. When carefully reviewing personal skin type and skin demands, make a careful decision to achieve the desired effect and achieve the purpose of skin rejuvenation.
