On the compatibility of fruit acid and arbutin
The beauty of the skin is admired by everyone. In the way of skin care, fruit acid (Glycolic Acid) and arbutin (Alpha Arbutin) are both commonly used. However, whether the two can be compatible is quite a question.
The fruit acid has the ability to exfoliate the exfoliation, which can make the old exfoliation of the surface of the skin fall off, make the skin new, radiant, and can promote the metabolism of the skin and increase its transparency. Arbutin is known for inhibiting melanin production, which can block the activity of tyrosinase, thereby lightening spots and smoothing the skin tone.
To know whether the two can be mixed, it is necessary to investigate their properties. Fruit acid is acidic, its pH value is low, and it is irritating to a certain extent. The chemical properties of arbutin are relatively stable, but in an acidic environment, there may be changes. If mixed rashly, the acidic nature of fruit acid may affect the structure and activity of arbutin, resulting in the loss of its whitening effect. And the irritating nature of fruit acid is strong. After mixing with arbutin, it may increase the irritation to the skin, making sensitive skin unbearable, causing redness, itching, tingling and other diseases.
However, if it is properly prepared, it is not impossible. It is necessary to study the chemical properties of the two in detail and precisely control the ratio. It can be observed in the laboratory after many experiments to observe the physical and chemical changes after mixing, and to measure its stability, activity and other indicators. If you can ensure that the activity of the two after mixing is not damaged, and the skin irritation is within the acceptable range, you can try to use it in skin care practice.
However, even if the experiment is feasible, you should be cautious when actually using it. Try it on the local skin first to see if there is any discomfort. If there is no adverse reaction, you can gradually expand the scope of use. And the frequency of use should not be too high to avoid hurting the skin.
In summary, the mixing of fruit acid and arbutin needs to be done with caution. Detailed research, scientific preparation, and careful trial are the right way to skin care, so as to achieve the desire of skin beauty without the risk of skin damage.
