What should not be used with kojic acid essence?

The fairies’ dressing tables must be filled with various skin care products, and they apply layer upon layer of them on their faces every day. You may know that you cannot use many kinds of skin care products at one time, otherwise it will increase the burden on your skin, so let’s talk about what kojic acid essence cannot be used with at the same time!

What should not be used with kojic acid essence?

Kojic acid can control skin pigmentation and has the effect of whitening and removing spots, but it will become ineffective in strong light or overly acidic environments. Therefore, products containing kojic acid are best used at night and should be avoided together with salicylic acid, fruit acid, and high-concentration VC.

What skin care products should not be used at the same time

1. Deep cleansing and exfoliating products: Our skin's tolerance is limited. If deep cleansing and exfoliation are performed at the same time, it will cause great damage to the skin. Therefore, not only can exfoliating products not be used together with deep cleansing products, but they cannot be used together in a short period of time. It is best to use them one week apart.

2. Moisturizing essence and physical sunscreen: Moisturizing is a necessary task all year round, and moisturizing essence is also a basic skin care product that everyone has. The moisturizing molecules in moisturizing essence are easily absorbed by the skin due to their fine texture. However, if you use physical sunscreen containing titanium dioxide on the face after applying moisturizing essence, the effect will be greatly reduced. When used in combination, the originally tiny molecules will become larger and less easily absorbed by the skin, resulting in a mud-like phenomenon.

3. Do not mix multiple whitening products: Some whitening products can be stacked, but the VC in whitening products is an effective whitening ingredient that is very unstable and easily oxidized. Mixing products from different brands can easily reduce the whitening effect or even make it ineffective. For consumers with sensitive skin or problematic skin, we emphasize again: choose whitening products with mild ingredients and stable effects, and avoid mixing products from different brands to avoid irritation to the skin.
