On the mixed use of retinol and glycolic acid
for skin care, retinol and glycolic acid are both commonly used agents. However, whether the two can be mixed, there are different opinions, and it needs to be explored in detail.

Retinol can promote skin cell renewal, increase collagen production, and has significant effects on anti-wrinkle and brightening skin. Glycolic acid is a fruit acid, which can exfoliate, clear pores, treat acne well, and make the skin smooth and delicate.

If the two are mixed, their effects may be superimposed, but there are also risks. Retinol and glycolic acid are both irritating, and mixed use can easily cause skin intolerance, causing redness, swelling, tingling, and peeling.

Those who want to mix should be cautious. At the beginning, it is recommended to try it locally to observe the skin's reaction. If there is no abnormality, then gradually expand the range. And the frequency of use should be low, such as once or twice a week, so that the skin can gradually adapt. When using, pay attention to moisturizing and sun protection to protect the skin barrier.

In short, the combination of retinol and glycolic acid has advantages and disadvantages. Users need to weigh the advantages and disadvantages according to their own skin type, and act prudently before they can receive the good effects of skin care and avoid the risk of skin damage.
