On the Mixing of Lactic Acid and Glycolic Acid
Fufu Acid has different properties and uses. Lactic acid and glycolic acid are both involved in chemical, pharmaceutical and other fields. Whether the two can be mixed today is really related to their physicochemical properties.
Lactic acid, with mild properties, often exists in biological bodies, such as after muscle exercise. In skin care products, it can moisturize the skin, adjust the balance of acid and base, and help the metabolism of keratin. Glycolic acid, a fruit acid and the like, has strong activity, can quickly dissolve the bonding between the cuticles, rejuvenate the surface of the skin, and has a good effect on light spots and wrinkles.
However, when mixing the two, be careful. The mildness of lactic acid meets the strong activity of glycolic acid, or produces complex changes. From a chemical perspective, both contain carboxyl groups, and under specific conditions, reactions such as esterification may occur, resulting in different properties of the product than the original intention. And at the application level, the mixed acid is difficult to measure the degree of irritation to the skin. If it is not properly prepared, it may cause skin allergies, redness and swelling.
Therefore, if you want to mix lactic acid and glycolic acid, you should first study the properties of the two in detail, and after rigorous experiments, measure the stability and irritation after mixing. Under professional guidance and according to the exact ratio, it is expected to obtain a safe and efficient product to achieve the expected effect and avoid potential risks. In this way, it can be used properly to reap its benefits and avoid its harm.
