Glycolic acid and bisabolol: work well together

Work well together

Use them together by applying glycolic acid first and bisabolol right after, because soothing bisabolol calms acid-induced redness. Glycolic acid exfoliates the skin, while bisabolol reduces irritation and supports the skin barrier. You can use a lower strength of acid or give your skin more time between applications if it feels sensitive.
