Citric acid and tromethamine
Work well together
Use them together by applying tromethamine after citric acid, to keep your routine balanced and comfortable. Tromethamine helps balance the acidity of citric acid so your skin stays comfortable without irritation. You can try a lower strength if your skin feels sensitive.
