Salicylic acid and lauric acid
Work well together
Use them together by applying salicylic acid first and barrier lipids second, because barrier lipids help restore moisture after exfoliation. Salicylic acid clears pores while barrier lipids lock in moisture and prevent dryness. The shopper can use a lower strength or apply them on alternate nights if irritation occurs.
The formation of competent barrier lipids in reconstructed human epidermis requires the presence of vitamin CEpidermal barrier lipids in human vernix caseosa: corresponding ceramide pattern in vernix and fetal skin
