When it comes to the combination of glycolic acid and tranexamic acid, the use of chemical agents is crucial for skin care. Both glycolic acid and tranexamic acid have unique effects in the field of skin care. Let's discuss in detail whether the two can be mixed.

Glycolic acid belongs to alpha-hydroxy acid. Its molecules are small and can easily penetrate into the stratum corneum of the skin, promote the metabolism of keratinocytes, loosen the connections between keratinocytes, and make old waste keratin fall off, thereby making the skin surface smooth and delicate and uniform in color. And it can stimulate the synthesis of collagen in the dermis, enhance skin elasticity, and have a good effect on improving fine lines and wrinkles.

Tranexamic acid, also known as tranexamic acid. In skin care, it is often concerned about its excellent whitening effect. This is because it can inhibit tyrosinase activity, block melanin production path, reduce melanin formation, so as to achieve the purpose of whitening light spots. At the same time, it has certain anti-inflammatory properties and can relieve skin inflammation.

As for whether the two can be mixed, its chemical properties need to be investigated. Glycolic acid is acidic and has certain corrosive and irritating properties. Tranexamic acid has relatively stable chemical properties. Although there is no report of a clear chemical reaction between the two causing the formation of harmful compounds, the acidity of glycolic acid may affect the stability and efficacy of tranexamic acid. And both of them are irritating to the skin. Mixing or causing irritation superposition can cause redness, itching, tingling and other discomfort in those with poor skin tolerance.

Before mixing, it is recommended to try it on a small area of skin to observe whether there are adverse reactions. If the skin has good tolerance, you can try low-concentration mixing with caution and pay close attention to the skin reaction. If there is discomfort, you should stop using it immediately.

In short, glycolic acid and tranexamic acid are mixed with both advantages and disadvantages. Users should weigh the advantages and disadvantages according to their own skin conditions, and act prudently to achieve the best skin care effect and maintain skin health.
