The difference between hyaluronic acid and glycolic acid
Hyaluronic acid (Hyaluronic Acid) and glycolic acid (Glycolic Acid), the two are significantly different in efficacy and characteristics.

Hyaluronic acid has excellent moisturizing ability. Its unique molecular structure can absorb a large number of water molecules to build a moisturizing barrier on the surface of the skin, making the skin always hydrated and full, effectively relieving dry skin, improving skin elasticity, and making the skin feel smoother. Often used in moisturizing skin care products to replenish and retain moisture for the skin, regardless of dry, oily or combination skin, this ingredient is suitable for moisturizing purposes.

Glycolic acid belongs to the fruit acid family. Its molecules are small and highly permeable, which can effectively loosen the connections between keratinocytes, promote the shedding and renewal of the stratum corneum, and then improve the texture of the skin, making the skin more delicate. At the same time, it can stimulate collagen production, help reduce wrinkles, improve uneven skin tone, and improve skin gloss. However, because of its certain irritation, sensitive skin should be used with caution, and slight tingling and redness may occur in the early stage of use.

To sum up, hyaluronic acid focuses on moisturizing and replenishing moisture for the skin; glycolic acid focuses on keratin renewal and skin rejuvenation. When making skin care decisions, you should choose carefully according to your skin type and needs in order to achieve the ideal skin care effect.
