Arginine and lactic acid: work well together

Work well together

Use them together by applying the lactic acid first and the arginine right after, to gently balance your skin. Lactic acid clears away dead skin while arginine keeps your skin hydrated and comfortable. If your skin feels sensitive, use a lower strength or wait a few minutes between applying them.
