Q: Can I use squalane after using glycolic acid toner?

A: It is not a big problem to use squalane after glycolic acid toner. Glycolic acid toner has the effect of exfoliating, which can make the old keratin on the surface of the skin fall off, make the skin smoother, and promote the absorption of subsequent skin care products. However, this process may cause the skin to become more sensitive for a short time.

Squalane is mild in nature, similar to the natural oils of the skin, and has good skin-friendliness. When used after glycolic acid toner, it can form a protective film on the surface of the skin, help the skin lock in moisture, reduce the possible water loss due to glycolic acid use, and soothe the skin and reduce sensitive discomfort.

However, different skin types are different, and some people's skin is extremely sensitive. Even if such products are used routinely, discomfort may occur. Therefore, before use, you can try it behind the ear or on a small piece of facial skin to observe whether there are any adverse reactions such as redness, swelling, itching, etc. If not, you can use it normally. In this way, choose products reasonably according to your own skin type to achieve the ideal skin care effect and care for your skin's health.
