The Compatibility of Salicylic Acid and Glycolic Acid Study
The way of skin care, the combination of chemical agents is related to the effectiveness and safety. Today, the compatibility of salicylic acid and glycolic acid has attracted much attention.

Salicylic acid has fat-soluble characteristics, can penetrate deep into hair follicles, clean oil, dredge pores, and has anti-inflammatory effects. It has significant effect on the conditioning of skin problems such as acne. Glycolic acid is a water-soluble fruit acid with small molecules, which can efficiently penetrate the surface of the skin, promote keratin metabolism, rejuvenate the skin, and make the skin smoother and more delicate.

However, when using both, it is necessary to be cautious. Because they all have a certain ability to exfoliate, if used in combination, it may cause excessive peeling of the stratum corneum. Damage to the skin barrier can cause many discomforts, such as redness, tingling, dryness and tightness.

If you want to use salicylic acid and glycolic acid together, you should first check your skin. If you have oily skin with good tolerance, you can try the combination of low concentrations of the two, and at the beginning, the frequency of use should be low. For example, use it once a week at the beginning, and then increase the frequency moderately after the skin gets used to it. When using, be sure to moisturize and protect the skin. Moisturizing can help keep the skin hydrated and repair the damaged barrier; sun protection can prevent the skin from being more vulnerable to ultraviolet rays due to damaged barrier.

If you have sensitive skin, the risk of combining the two is quite high. Because your skin is inherently fragile and has poor tolerance to irritation, you can use it rashly or cause allergic reactions to intensify, and skin problems will worsen. People with such skin types should not try it easily without professional guidance.

In short, salicylic acid and glycolic acid can bring many benefits to the skin if they are properly matched. However, before using it, you must have a clear understanding of your own skin type and follow scientific methods, so that you can seek advantages and avoid disadvantages and achieve the ideal skin care effect.
