Allantoin and lactic acid

Allantoin and lactic acid: work well together

Work well together

Use them together by applying lactic acid first and then allantoin, because allantoin calms down the irritation caused by the acid. Lactic acid smooths and brightens the skin, while allantoin helps soothe redness and supports your skin barrier. If your skin feels sensitive, try using a gentler acid strength or wait longer between applying the two.
