Lactic acid and taurine
Work well together
Use lactic acid and taurine together in the same routine, applying the lactic acid first and following with taurine. Lactic acid gently smooths and refreshes the surface, while taurine helps keep skin balanced and comfortable. If your skin feels sensitive, you can try a milder strength or wait a few extra minutes between applying them.
