On the Compatibility of Glycolic Acid and Peptides
Glycolic acid has the power of rejuvenating the skin, can exfoliate, open pores, and make the skin delicate and shiny. Peptides can promote the production of collagen, strengthen the toughness of the skin, give the skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles and resist aging. Both are wonderful skin care products, but their compatibility methods need to be carefully studied.

Glycolic acid is mild, but it also has a certain peeling power, which can temporarily make the skin barrier weak. Peptide substances, many active, are the key to skin repair and nourishment. If the two are properly compatible, after the exfoliation of glycolic acid, the peptide can take advantage of the potential to enter the deep layer of the skin, help collagen regeneration, and exert better repair and anti-aging effects.

When it is compatible, it must be measured carefully. The concentration of glycolic acid is too high, or it may be confused with the active ingredients of the peptide, which will damage its effectiveness. And when the skin is sensitive to glycolic acid exfoliation, if the stimulation of the peptide is slightly stronger, it is easy to cause skin discomfort, such as redness and itching. Therefore, it is advisable to try the combination of low-concentration glycolic acid and peptide first to check the tolerance of the skin. Step by step, find the appropriate ratio of the two.

And different peptides have different characteristics. If peptides focus on anti-wrinkle, copper peptides are good for repair. Appropriate peptides should be selected to be compatible with glycolic acid according to the needs of the skin. For dry skin, peptides with good moisturizing properties can be matched; for oily skin, peptides that control oil and regulate sebum should be selected.

Furthermore, the order of compatibility is also particular. Usually glycolic acid products are applied first, and then peptides are used after the skin absorbs them for a while. In this way, adverse reactions caused by direct contact between the two can be avoided, and the effect can be exerted in sequence.

In short, the compatibility of glycolic acid and peptides, such as tuning strings and messing around, should be cautious and seek its harmonious law, in order to complement the skin care effect and give the skin a youthful radiance.
