Discussion on whether kojic acid soap and glycolic acid can be shared

Recently, many people have explored the way of skin care, and the combination of kojic acid soap and glycolic acid has also become a hot topic. Kojic acid soap contains kojic acid, which is effective in inhibiting tyrosinase activity. It is often the choice for whitening light spots. It can reduce melanin production and make the skin bright. Glycolic acid is a type of fruit acid, which has the ability to exfoliate, can promote epidermal cell renewal, make the skin smooth and delicate, and is also effective in improving uneven skin tone and reducing fine lines.

However, whether the two can be used together needs to be carefully investigated. From the perspective of chemical characteristics, kojic acid is weakly acidic, and glycolic acid is slightly more acidic. If the two are used together, the local acidity of the skin may be too strong. The skin has its own acid-base balance, which is broken, or causes many discomforts, such as redness, tingling, itching, and even damage to the skin barrier.

In terms of skin adaptability, different individuals have different skin tolerances. Some people have good skin tolerance, or can withstand the combination of the two for a short time; however, for sensitive skin, even if you use kojic acid soap or glycolic acid alone, it may be uncomfortable. The combination of the two is more likely to cause adverse reactions such as allergies.

Therefore, those who want to use kojic acid soap and glycolic acid together should be cautious. You can try it before a small piece of skin to see if it has any adverse reactions. If there is any discomfort, you should stop using it immediately. Generally speaking, it is recommended to use it at intervals, such as cleaning with kojic acid soap during the day and glycolic acid care products at night, and the frequency of use should not be too high. When the skin is restored to buffering, it may protect the effect of skin care and protect skin health.
