Paulas Choice BHA Glycolic Acid Compatibility
On the Compatibility of Baola Zhenxuan BHA and Glycolic Acid
Recently, there are various opinions on whether Baola Zhenxuan BHA and Glycolic Acid can be used together. To understand, it is necessary to examine the physical properties of the two and the response of the skin in detail.

Baola Zhenxuan BHA, a derivative of the scientific name salicylic acid, is fat-soluble, can penetrate deep into hair follicles, clean oil, smooth pores, and has anti-inflammatory effects, can slow skin inflammation, reduce redness and swelling. Glycolic acid is a water-soluble fruit acid with tiny molecules, which can quickly penetrate the surface of the skin, promote keratin metabolism, make the skin smooth and shiny, and can also help the skin moisturize and strengthen its barrier.

If the two are used together, they may have a synergistic effect. BHA clears oil, opens pores, glycolic acid promotes metabolism, and brightens the skin. It seems to be a two-pronged approach to improve the quality of the skin. However, there are also risks. Both are exfoliating, and the same use may cause excessive exfoliation of the skin, causing dryness, tingling, and redness. Especially sensitive skin, weak tolerance, more caution.

If you want to use them together, you should test the sensitivity on a small scale first. Take a small amount of the product and apply it behind the ear or on the inside of the forearm. After 24 to 48 hours, if there is no discomfort, it can be gradually used on the face. And the initial use should be diluted in concentration and less frequency. When the skin adapts, increase it. After use, it needs tremendous support for moisture and sun protection to avoid skin damage.

In short, Paula Jane chooses BHA and glycolic acid to be used together, which has advantages and disadvantages. Users should be aware of their own skin type and take care of it to achieve the purpose of skin care and avoid skin injuries.
