Glycolic acid and silk amino acids
Work well together
Use them together by applying glycolic acid first and silk amino acids right after, because they balance each other out nicely. Glycolic acid gently smooths your skin while silk amino acids help keep it well-hydrated and comfortable. If you notice any mild tingling, you can switch to a gentler strength or space them out by a few minutes.
