Panthenol and mandelic acid
Work well together
Use them together by applying the mandelic acid first and following with panthenol, because panthenol helps calm any irritation from the acid. Mandelic acid gently exfoliates the skin, while panthenol adds moisture and cools down redness. If your skin feels sensitive, you can use a lower strength or wait a little longer between applying them.
