Mandelic acid and theanine: work well together

Work well together

Use them together in the same routine, applying the mandelic acid first and the theanine after, because they balance moisture levels. Mandelic acid gently renews the skin surface while theanine helps lock in essential hydration so the skin stays comfortable and plump. If you feel any mild dryness, you can switch to using them on alternate nights or look for a gentler product strength.
