Use Glycolic Acid After Vitamin C
On the feasibility of using glycolic acid after vitamin C
In the way of skin care, it is doubtful whether glycolic acid can be used after vitamin C.

Vitamin C has antioxidant properties, can protect the skin from free radicals, promote collagen production, and make the skin radiant. Its liveliness is beneficial for skin maintenance.

Glycolic acid is a type of fruit acid with tiny molecules. It can quickly penetrate the surface of the skin, exfoliate, make the skin smooth and delicate, and can also promote skin metabolism.

However, when using both, be careful. Vitamin C is acidic, and glycolic acid is also acidic. If the two are used together, or the local acidity of the skin is too strong, and the skin is fragile, there may be a feeling of discomfort, such as redness and tingling.

If you want to use glycolic acid after vitamin C, it depends on the tolerance of the skin. Those with strong skin and good tolerance can try it on a small scale first. After cleansing, use vitamin C products first, wait for them to be completely dry, about half an hour apart, and then apply glycolic acid products thinly. When using for the first time, the frequency should be low, such as once a week, to observe the skin's reaction. If there is no discomfort, you can gradually increase the frequency.

If the skin is sensitive, after using vitamin C, the skin has felt uncomfortable or has slight inflammation. At this time, glycolic acid should not be used. When protecting the skin barrier first, wait for the skin to calm down before trying.

In general, using glycolic acid after vitamin C, whether it is feasible or not, depends on the skin condition. Be careful and adjust according to the skin's tolerance to ensure the effect of skin care without damaging the skin.
