Glycolic acid and cholesterol: work well together

Work well together

Use them together by applying glycolic acid first and cholesterol right after, as cholesterol helps soothe skin after exfoliation. Glycolic acid removes dead surface skin, while cholesterol restores your natural moisture barrier. You can use a gentler acid strength if your skin feels sensitive.
