"On the Appropriateness of Sharing Peptides and Glycolic Acid"

Peptides and glycolic acid, both of which are commonly used ingredients in skin care. However, whether they can be shared or not, there are different opinions.

Peptides have a variety of skin care effects. They can either promote collagen production, make the skin firm and elastic; or can regulate skin metabolism and help cell repair. Its molecular structure is diverse and the mechanism of action is also complex.

Glycolic acid belongs to the fruit acid class. It can loosen the connection between keratinocytes, accelerate the shedding of the stratum corneum, and make the skin smooth and delicate; it can also promote the synthesis of collagen and hyaluronic acid in the dermis, and improve the texture of the skin.

However, the Glycolic acid is acidic and can change the pH value of the skin. If it is shared with peptides, or the activity of peptides is affected by environmental changes. The structure of peptides may be damaged due to changes in pH, resulting in weakened efficacy.

However, it is also feasible to properly prepare. If the concentration of the two is suitable and scientifically formulated, they may be complementary. First use mild glycolic acid to improve the surface condition of the skin, and then use peptides to promote deep repair, or achieve better skin care effect.

Users should examine their own skin type. Sensitive skin, glycolic acid or discomfort, add peptides to be more cautious to prevent allergies or irritation. Oily skin, strong tolerance to glycolic acid, reasonable matching of peptides, or can control oil and improve skin firmness.

If you want to share peptides with glycolic acid, read the product description carefully, or consult a professional. In this way, it can be used safely and reasonably to achieve the wish of skin care and beauty.
