Mandelic acid and tri-ceramide complex: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use mandelic acid and tri-ceramide complex at different times of day, applying the acid first and the soothing ceramides afterward. Mandelic acid is too acidic and can break down the ceramides, which stops them from fixing your skin barrier. You can fix this by using the acid in the morning and the ceramides at night, or by waiting a while between them.
