Lactic acid and lauric acid

Lactic acid and lauric acid: work well together

Work well together

Use them together by applying the lactic acid first and the barrier lipids right after to soothe and lock in moisture. Lactic acid smooths the surface while barrier lipids rebuild your skin's protective layer. You can use a gentler concentration or wait longer between steps if your skin feels sensitive.
