AHA blend glycolic and citric acids and carnosine: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day, applying the acid first and then the peptide, because mixing them together ruins the active formula. The acid is too harsh and breaks down the peptide, stopping it from firming your skin. You can switch to a gentler acid strength or wait longer between using them.
