Salicylic acid and gluconolactone: work well together

Work well together

Use them together, applying salicylic acid first and gluconolactone second, because they make a gentle and hydrating exfoliating team. Salicylic acid clears out pores while gluconolactone attracts moisture and soothes the skin to prevent irritation. You can try a lower strength if your skin feels too sensitive, or wait a few minutes between applying them.
