Lactic acid and lactobionic acid
Work well together
Use them together in the same routine, applying the lactic acid first and following it with the lactobionic acid. Lactic acid exfoliates while lactobionic acid adds moisture and calms potential irritation so your skin stays comfortable. If you experience any sensitivity, you can use a gentler strength or apply them on alternate nights.
