On the pros and cons of combining vitamin C serum with glycolic acid
The way of skin care is that everyone seeks the best way. Vitamin C serum and glycolic acid are both famous in the skin care industry. However, whether the two can be used together is a matter of great importance to the well-being of the skin.

Vitamin C serum is rich in antioxidant power. It can resist the attack of free radicals, acting as a shield for the skin, protecting the skin from all kinds of damage from the outside world, and it is effective in whitening and brightening. It can lighten pigmentation, smooth the skin tone, and make the skin glow like a pearl.

Glycolic acid is a type of fruit acid and has excellent exfoliation effect. It can gently remove the old waste exfoliation on the surface of the skin, smooth the pores, and make the skin texture delicate and smooth, just like a new life.

As for the combination of the two, there are inherent benefits. When combined, the antioxidant properties of vitamin C can be coordinated with the keratin renewal effect of glycolic acid, accelerating the skin's metabolism, making the effect of whitening and rejuvenating more significant. The skin may appear brighter and smoother in a short period of time.

However, there are also disadvantages. Glycolic acid has a certain irritation, which can cause short-term weakening of the skin's barrier function and increase skin sensitivity. If used in combination with vitamin C serum, be especially cautious. Due to the acidic nature of vitamin C, or the superposition of irritation with glycolic acid, the skin is overwhelmed, resulting in redness, tingling, itching and other uncomfortable conditions.

Therefore, if you want to use vitamin C serum in combination with glycolic acid, you must review your own skin condition. If the skin is strong and well tolerated, you can try it on a small scale first, and then gradually increase the area and frequency of use after observation. If the skin is sensitive and fragile, it should be done with caution, or consult a professional first, and it must not be used rashly to avoid damage to the skin.

In general, the use of skin care in combination should be handled in a scientific and prudent manner to benefit the skin without damage.
