Mandelic acid and lactobionic acid: work well together

Work well together

Use them together in the same routine, applying the mandelic acid first and following with the lactobionic acid. Mandelic acid gently exfoliates while lactobionic acid adds moisture and calms any potential redness or stinging. If your skin feels sensitive, you can try using a gentler strength or space them out over more time.
