Ferulic acid and mandelic acid: work well together

Work well together

Use them in the same routine by applying mandelic acid first and ferulic acid right after, because antioxidants protect freshly exfoliated skin. Mandelic acid gently clears away dull skin cells, while ferulic acid defends against daily environmental stress. If your skin feels sensitive, try using them on alternate nights or switch to a lower strength.
