Glycolic acid and taurine: work well together

Work well together

Use them together by applying glycolic acid first and then taurine, since this helps keep your skin balanced and hydrated. Glycolic acid gently refreshes the surface while taurine helps protect your skin's natural moisture balance. If your skin feels sensitive, try using a gentler strength or waiting a little longer between applying them.
