Mixing Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid
"On the Mixing of Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid"

Glycolic acid and lactic acid are both common organic acids and are widely used in many fields. However, whether the two can be mixed is a matter of effectiveness and safety.

Guanfu glycolic acid, with its unique chemical properties, has significant effects on exfoliation and promoting skin metabolism. Lactic acid is no less than that, and it has its strengths in moisturizing and adjusting the acid-base balance of the skin.

If you want to mix the two, you should be cautious. First, you need to carefully observe the concentration of the two. Mixing at too high a concentration may cause skin intolerance and cause allergies, tingling, etc. Second, you should consider the proportion of mixing. The appropriate ratio can synergistically exert the advantages of the two to achieve the best effect.

And different skin types have different reactions to the combination of the two. Oily skin may be better tolerated, but sensitive skin needs to be more cautious. It is a safe way to try it on the local skin first and observe whether there is any discomfort.

Furthermore, the mixing process also needs to be paid attention to. Mixing should be carried out in a suitable environment and in a specific order and method to ensure that the two are fully integrated and chemically stable.

In short, mixing glycolic acid and lactic acid has both opportunities and challenges. Only by adhering to a scientific and prudent attitude can we make good use of the characteristics of both to harvest the desired results and avoid possible risks.
