Lactic acid and gluconolactone
Work well together
Use them together at night by applying lactic acid first and gluconolactone second, because the gluconolactone calms and hydrates skin. Lactic acid smooths the skin, while gluconolactone adds moisture and keeps irritation away. If it feels too strong, try a lower strength or wait a few minutes between steps.
