On the Compatibility of Niacinamide, Zinc and Glycolic Acid
The nourishment of the skin is related to the agent used. Niacinamide, zinc and glycolic acid are all common products of skin care, but their compatibility is appropriate and cannot be ignored.

Niacinamide has many wonderful effects. It can help the skin to strengthen the barrier, and can even out the skin tone and reduce dullness. It also regulates the secretion of sebaceous glands and makes the skin oil and water balanced. Zinc has anti-inflammatory properties and soothes skin inflammation such as acne. It can also promote skin metabolism and help repair damaged skin. Glycolic acid, a fruit acid and the like, can exfoliate the skin, make the skin delicate and smooth, promote the speed of skin metabolism, and make the skin glow.

However, the compatibility of these three should be paid attention to. Glycolic acid is quite acidic. If it is applied together with niacinamide, under a specific pH environment, it may cause niacinamide to convert to niacin. Niacin is more irritating to the skin and is easy to cause redness, tingling and other discomfort. Therefore, when the two are used together, the pH value of the product must be adjusted or used in time to avoid adverse reactions.

As for zinc and glycolic acid, glycolic acid can improve the skin's absorption of zinc, which is synergistic to anti-inflammatory and regulating oil secretion, and may have gains. However, glycolic acid increases skin sensitivity, or enhances the irritation of zinc, so the initial use, when a small amount of trial, to observe the tolerance of the skin.

Niacinamide and zinc are compatible, and theoretically can complement each other. Niacinamide regulates oil, zinc anti-inflammatory repair, and the two work together to be beneficial for the maintenance of oily and inflammatory skin. However, in practical application, we should also pay attention to product formulas and individual skin differences.

In general, although niacinamide, zinc and glycolic acid have their own beautiful effects, they are used in combination. If they are not used properly, they are prone to skin problems. Users should carefully review their own skin characteristics or follow the guidance of professionals, so as to achieve the purpose of safe and effective skin care.
