Mixing Glycolic Acid and Tranexamic Acid
On the Mixture of Glycolic Acid and Tranexamic Acid
If you want to know whether glycolic acid and tranexamic acid can be mixed, you must examine the properties of the two in detail. Glycolic acid belongs to the fruit acid class, which is weakly acidic and is often used for skin rejuvenation. It can exfoliate, promote cell renewal, and make the skin smooth and delicate. Tranexamic acid, originally a hemostatic agent, is used in the field of skin and is manifested by its ability to whiten and inhibit blackness.

From the perspective of chemistry, the two are mixed or reacted. The carboxyl group of glycolic acid, in case of the special structure of tranexamic acid, or the change of acid-base neutralization, or other chemical associations, changes its original nature. However, this is inconclusive, and it is necessary to accurately test and observe the mixing situation.

In practical applications, both act on the skin. Glycolic acid exfoliates the skin, making the skin temporarily sensitive. If tranexamic acid is mixed with it at this time, it may increase the burden on the skin and cause discomfort, such as tingling, redness, etc. However, with a reasonable formula and suitable concentration, this drawback may be avoided.

Therefore, the mixing of glycolic acid and tranexamic acid needs to be treated with caution. First study the chemical properties in detail, and then verify it with real evidence, and then test the skin tolerance. Only after this can we know whether the two can be mixed, and find a suitable way for skin care.
