Can hyaluronic acid and glycolic acid be used together
In the field of skin care, the compatibility of hyaluronic acid and glycolic acid has attracted much attention. Hyaluronic acid, due to its excellent moisturizing properties, is widely used in various skin care products, which can penetrate deep into the bottom layer of the skin, lock in moisture, and keep the skin hydrated and full at all times. Glycolic acid is a kind of fruit acid. With its small molecular structure, it has a powerful exfoliating effect, which can accelerate the metabolism of the skin and make the skin glow with new radiance.

However, when exploring whether the two can be used together, it is necessary to consider carefully. Glycolic acid has a certain acidity and will reduce the pH of the skin. If used with hyaluronic acid at the same time, in this acidic environment, the structure of hyaluronic acid may be affected, and its moisturizing function may not be fully exerted. Studies have shown that acidic conditions may cause the degradation of hyaluronic acid molecules, which in turn weakens its ability to retain skin moisture.

From the perspective of skin tolerance, glycolic acid itself may cause tingling, redness and other discomforts in some people with more sensitive skin. If hyaluronic acid is added at this time, although hyaluronic acid is usually milder, it may increase the chance of adverse skin reactions in the skin environment altered by glycolic acid.

But this does not mean that the two must not be used together. For people with good skin tolerance, under the correct use method, you can still try it. For example, you can use a product containing hyaluronic acid in the morning to moisturize, and a product containing glycolic acid at night to promote skin metabolism. And, after using the glycolic acid product, you need to do a good job of subsequent moisturizing. At this time, hyaluronic acid is a good choice, but you should pay attention to the time interval of use to give the skin enough buffer time.

To sum up, the compatibility of hyaluronic acid and glycolic acid needs to be judged according to the individual skin condition. Before trying to use it together, it is recommended to try it on a small area of skin to observe whether there are any adverse reactions to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the skin care process.
