In the skin care process, the discussion of the order of use of niacinamide (Niacinamide) and glycolic acid (Glycolic Acid) is quite crucial.
Niacinamide, which is relatively mild in nature, has multiple skin care effects, such as regulating sebum secretion, enhancing skin barrier, and improving skin dullness and radiance. Glycolic acid is a fruit acid with strong acidity, which can effectively exfoliate, promote skin metabolism, improve skin texture, and make skin smoother and more delicate.
If the skin has good tolerance, glycolic acid can be used first. Because it can open the skin channel and promote better absorption of subsequent skin care products. However, glycolic acid will temporarily thin the skin. At this time, if nicotinamide is used directly, some sensitive skin may feel uncomfortable. Therefore, after using glycolic acid, you need to wait for the skin to be slightly soothed, and then use nicotinamide. In this way, both use glycolic acid to rejuvenate the skin and use nicotinamide to consolidate the skin state.
If the skin is sensitive, choose nicotinamide first. First strengthen the skin barrier and lay a good foundation for the skin. After the skin adapts to nicotinamide, try low-concentration glycolic acid, and the frequency of use should not be too high. During the use of glycolic acid, pay more attention to skin moisturization and sun protection to prevent skin damage.
After all, the skin care sequence should be determined according to the individual skin type and skin tolerance. Only by reasonably arranging the use sequence of nicotinamide and glycolic acid can the best skin care effect be achieved and the skin glows.
