Silk amino acids and citric acid
Work well together
Use them together in your daily routine, applying the citric acid first and the silk amino acids right after to boost hydration. Citric acid gently clears away dull surface skin while silk amino acids lock in moisture so your face stays soft and balanced. If your skin feels sensitive, try using them on alternate days or switch to a milder formula.
