Linoleic acid and lactic acid: work well together

Work well together

Use them in the same routine by applying lactic acid first and linoleic acid right after to restore skin moisture. Lactic acid exfoliates and smooths the surface, while linoleic acid replenishes essential oils to keep the skin barrier strong and comfortable. If your skin feels sensitive, try using a gentler strength or apply them on alternate nights.
