Vitamin E and citric acid: work well together

Work well together

Use them in the same routine by applying vitamin E after citric acid, because antioxidants help protect skin right after exfoliation. Citric acid gently exfoliates while vitamin E provides extra protection against daily skin stress. If your skin feels sensitive, you can apply them at different times of day or leave more time between steps.
