Discussion on the Compatibility of Lactic Acid and Glycolic Acid Toner
There is a question about skin care in the world, saying: "Can lactic acid and glycolic acid toner be used together?" This is an important matter related to skin care and needs to be analyzed in detail.
Lactic acid is one of the alpha-hydroxy acids, which has the ability to gently exfoliate and can improve skin hydration. Because of its large molecule, it penetrates the skin slightly slowly, so it is relatively mild to skin irritation.
Glycolic acid is also an alpha-hydroxy acid. However, its molecules are small, it has a strong ability to penetrate the skin, and the exfoliation effect is more significant. It can effectively improve the texture of the skin, reduce pigmentation, and make the skin smoother and more delicate.
Whether the two can be used together with a toner depends on the skin condition. If the skin is well tolerated, the combination of the two may enhance the skin care effect and achieve deep exfoliation and rejuvenation. However, if the skin is sensitive, the combination of the two may cause skin discomfort, such as redness, tingling, itching, etc.
If you want to use a lactic acid and glycolic acid toner together, you should try it on a small area of skin first. Apply a little behind the ear or inside the wrist and observe for 24 to 48 hours. If there is no adverse reaction, the scope of use can be gradually expanded. And the initial frequency of use should be low, such as 1 to 2 times a week, and then increase as appropriate after the skin adapts.
During use, be sure to pay attention to skin moisturization and sun protection. Because after exfoliation of the two, the skin is more susceptible to external irritation. Moisturizing can maintain skin moisture balance, and sun protection can avoid skin inflammation or pigmentation caused by ultraviolet damage.
In summary, the compatibility of lactic acid and glycolic acid toner varies from skin to skin. Users should carefully evaluate their skin condition and try it out scientifically to find a suitable skin care plan to achieve skin beauty.
