On the compatibility of vitamin E and glycolic acid
The method of skin care, the combination of vitamin E and glycolic acid, many people are skeptical. If you want to understand the reason, you should investigate its nature.
Vitamin E has antioxidant properties. It can protect the skin from free radical damage, slow down the aging of the skin, promote cell repair, and make the skin moist and shiny. Its nature is mild, and it is mostly found in various skin care products. It is commonly used for skin nourishment.
Glycolic acid belongs to fruit acid and the like. It can dissolve the bonds between the cuticles, make the stratum corneum remove quickly, make the skin look new, promote skin metabolism, lighten spots, smooth wrinkles, and make the skin smooth and tender. However, its nature is slightly stronger, improper use, or cause skin discomfort, such as redness, swelling, itching, etc.
As for whether the two can be used together, the quality of the skin should be reviewed. If the skin is strong and tolerant, the two are compatible, or they can be complementary. The gentle protection of vitamin E can slow down the stimulation of glycolic acid; the promotion of metabolism of glycolic acid can help the absorption of vitamin E. However, those with delicate and sensitive skin must not try it lightly. The stimulation of glycolic acid may cause damage to the skin barrier, and vitamin E is also difficult to reverse the damage, but it will increase the disease of the skin.
Those who use vitamin E and glycolic acid should first check their own skin type, or consult Fang's family. Start with a small-scale trial and observe the response of the skin. If there is any discomfort, stop it quickly. The way of skin care is to be cautious and careful in order to obtain its benefits and avoid its harm.
