Lactobionic acid and citric acid: work well together

Work well together

Use them together by applying citric acid first and lactobionic acid second, because lactobionic acid calms irritation and adds soothing moisture. Citric acid gently removes dull surface skin, while lactobionic acid adds hydration and reduces the sting of exfoliation. You can switch to a gentler strength or apply them on alternate days if your skin feels sensitive.
