On the Compatibility of Rosehip Oil and Glycolic Acid
The compatibility of ingredients is very important for skin maintenance. The compatibility of rosehip oil and glycolic acid is of great concern to many people.
Rosehip oil is rich in multi-nutrients. Such as vitamin C, vitamin E and various essential fatty acids, etc., it has nourishing and repairing effects on the skin, can help the skin soften and shine, and has considerable effect on fading scars and calming fine lines.
Glycolic acid belongs to the class of fruit acids. Its molecules are small, can penetrate deep into the stratum corneum of the skin, promote keratin metabolism, rejuvenate the skin, make the skin smooth and delicate, improve the dullness of the skin tone, and are also effective in the prevention and treatment of acne and acne.
However, the compatibility of the two needs to be done with caution. Glycolic acid is acidic and irritating to a certain extent. If used in combination with rosehip oil, it may affect the stability of some ingredients in rosehip oil. And although rosehip oil nourishes, it may cause greasy skin. If used with glycolic acid, it may increase the burden on the skin.
If you want to use both, try it before a small piece of skin to see if it has any discomfort, such as redness, itching, tingling, etc. If there is no abnormality, it can be gradually used on the face. And it is advisable to start with low concentration of glycolic acid, step by step, and control the frequency of use. It is better to use it at night, and strict sun protection is required during the day, because glycolic acid makes the skin more sensitive to ultraviolet rays.
In short, rosehip oil is compatible with glycolic acid. If used properly, it may have a synergistic effect. However, it needs to be operated with caution to achieve the purpose of skin care without damaging skin health.
