Someone asked today: "Can You Put Salicylic Acid On Top Of Glycolic Acid?" This is about whether salicylic acid can be placed on top of glycolic acid.

Both salicylic acid and glycolic acid are commonly used ingredients in skin care. However, when used in combination, the two must be handled with caution. Glycolic acid is a fruit acid, which can exfoliate and renew the surface layer of the skin; salicylic acid can penetrate deep into the pores, clean up oil, and improve acne and other problems.

If salicylic acid is placed on top of glycolic acid, skin tolerance needs to be considered. If the skin is sensitive, the two are superimposed, or irritation may be caused, such as redness, tingling, peeling, etc. Therefore, first use a small amount of product on the local skin test, observe the reaction, no discomfort, and then use it on a large area.

And the order of use is also exquisite. Usually, the mild one is used as a base, and the glycolic acid is relatively irritating. You can apply it first, wait for it to be absorbed, and then use salicylic acid. In this way, it may reduce the risk of irritation and make the skin care effect better. In short, Salicylic Acid on Top of Glycolic Acid should be used with caution to achieve the purpose of skin care and avoid damage.
