Glycolic acid and arginine: work well together

Work well together

Use them together in the same routine, applying the glycolic acid first and the arginine right after to keep skin comfortable. Glycolic acid exfoliates while arginine keeps skin balanced and hydrated. If the skin feels sensitive, try a gentler strength or use them on alternate nights.
