Linoleic acid and mandelic acid: work well together

Work well together

Use them in the same routine by applying mandelic acid first, waiting for it to sink in, and then following with linoleic acid to restore your skin. Mandelic acid gently sweeps away dull surface skin, while linoleic acid helps rebuild your moisture barrier so your face stays soft and balanced. If you feel any mild dryness or tingling, simply switch to using them on alternate nights or space them further apart.
