Azelaic acid and aha blend glycolic and citric acids: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them on alternate nights because they are both strong exfoliants. Combining these two strong acids can over-exfoliate the skin, causing redness, irritation, and stinging. The shopper can switch to a gentler strength or alternate the nights they use each product to avoid irritation.
