On the combination of urea cream and glycolic acid
There is a medical way in the world, and the compatibility of medications is related to the curative effect. In this case, the combination of urea cream and glycolic acid involves pharmacology, and it is necessary to study in depth.
Urea cream has unique properties. It can make the skin keratinolytic and degenerative, improve the hydration of the stratum corneum, moisturize the skin, make it smooth, and is often suitable for skin dryness. Looking at its effectiveness, it is because urea can penetrate into the skin, improve the stratum corneum structure, and retain moisture, just like building a water storage reservoir for the skin to relieve the dryness.
Glycolic acid belongs to the category of alpha-hydroxy acids. Its small molecule, good permeability, can loosen the connection between keratinocytes, promote stratum corneum shedding, and can stimulate collagen synthesis in the dermis, which is quite effective in improving skin quality and rejuvenating skin. Such as spring breeze, remove old keratin and stimulate new cells.
If the two are used together, the advantages and disadvantages should be carefully observed. From the perspective of advantages, the moisturizing of urea cream can relieve the dryness of the skin caused by glycolic acid causing keratin shedding, which complements each other and protects the skin's moisture. Glycolic acid promotes keratin renewal, and can make urea cream more easily penetrate into the deep layers of the skin to enhance its effect. The combination of the two seems to be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort in the process of skin maintenance.
However, there is also a need for caution. Glycolic acid is irritating to a certain extent, and when used in combination with urea cream, it may cause skin irritation reactions to intensify. If the skin is already sensitive, it should be more cautious. If you are driving a horse, you need to control its degree, and so is the use of medication. Whether it is appropriate and the dosage should be determined according to the individual's skin tolerance.
Doctors should use medication, be aware of the reasons, evaluate the situation, and weigh the pros and cons, so that the combination of urea cream and glycolic acid can provide patients with healthy skin and well-being, while avoiding its harm.
