Vitamin E and mandelic acid
Work well together
Use them in the same routine by applying mandelic acid first and vitamin E right after, because antioxidants protect freshly exfoliated skin. Mandelic acid gently sweeps away dull surface skin, while vitamin E soothes and protects the fresh skin underneath. If your skin feels sensitive, try waiting a few minutes between steps or using a lower strength.

Which goes first, vitamin E or mandelic acid?

Are vitamin E and mandelic acid good for sensitive skin?
Vitamin E and mandelic acid work well together because antioxidants like vitamin E help protect the skin from oxidative stress after exfoliation with mandelic acid. Lovi rates this combination as having high compatibility for all skin types, especially photoaged skin.
