On the synergistic use of vitamin C essence and glycolic acid

Now there are vitamin C essence and glycolic acid, both of which have unique effects in the field of skin care. Vitamin C essence is rich in antioxidant power, which can help the skin resist the invasion of free radicals, brighten the complexion, and make the skin glow. Glycolic acid is a kind of fruit acid, which can gently exfoliate, promote skin metabolism, and make the skin delicate and smooth.

However, the way of skin care pays attention to proper compatibility. Whether vitamin C essence and glycolic acid can be used together is of great concern.

Vitamin C is acidic, and glycolic acid is also an acidic substance. The use of the two together may cause the surface of the skin to be too acidic. The skin has its own acid-base balance. If it is over-acidified, it may cause skin discomfort, such as redness, tingling, itching and other allergies. Especially for sensitive skin, more caution is required.

However, if the skin is well tolerated and used properly, the synergy between the two may also have a synergistic effect. In the order of use, you can first clean the skin with mild cleansing products. After the skin is dry, apply vitamin C essence first, wait for it to be fully absorbed, and then apply glycolic acid products thinly. In this way, you may reduce the risk of skin discomfort when the two effects are exerted.

Furthermore, the frequency of use also needs to be controlled. In the early stage, you can use it every few days to observe the skin's reaction. If the skin adapts well, then gradually increase the frequency of use, but it must not be used too frequently, so as not to damage the skin barrier.

All in all, the use of vitamin C essence in combination with glycolic acid has advantages and disadvantages. Users should choose carefully according to their own skin condition, and use it in moderation to achieve the beauty of skin care and make the skin healthy and beautiful.
