Glycolic acid and tri-ceramide complex: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day with the acid first, because the acid can disrupt the ceramide barrier when mixed together. Glycolic acid exfoliates while ceramides repair your skin barrier, but mixing them can cause irritation. You can use a gentler acid strength or wait longer between applying them.
