Mixing Glycolic Acid with Alpha Arbutin
On the Compatibility of Glycolic Acid and Arbutin
The glycolic acid is active and has great effect on the metabolism of the skin's keratin. It can make it take off quickly, rejuvenate the skin's new face, make the skin soft and smooth, and the color is also bright. Arbutin can make melanin grow, block its way, make the skin fair, and the color is uniform and bright.

But can the two be mixed and used? There are different opinions. It is said that the two are synergistic, glycolic acid opens the channel of the skin, helps arbutin enter the muscle more easily, increases its whitening effect, and glycolic acid promotes metabolism, so that the effect of arbutin can be seen quickly.

It is also said that it is impossible to worry about the strong glycolic acid, arbutin encounters it, or the chemical property loses its function, and the two are used together, the skin may not be able to be irritated by it, causing redness, itching, and burning pain.

If you want to know if it is true, you should conduct an experiment. Mix it with a small agent first, and observe the change of its chemical properties, whether there is precipitation, discoloration, or gas production. If you return to the arm of the person with sensitive skin, apply it to the small area, and observe the skin's response, if it is red, swollen, and itchy. After repeated tests, if the chemical properties have not changed and the skin is also safe, the two can be mixed; if not, you must be careful.

In the way of skin care, the compatibility of ingredients is related to the safety and effect of the skin. Although glycolic acid and arbutin have their own strengths, they are mixed and used. It is necessary to investigate in detail and evaluate the situation to ensure that the skin is not damaged and gain the benefits of skin beauty.
