AHA blend glycolic and citric acids and ferulic acid
Work well together
Use them together by applying the acid first and the antioxidant serum right after, because antioxidants protect freshly exfoliated skin. The exfoliating acid smooths the skin, while the antioxidant protects against environmental damage and irritation. If skin feels sensitive, try using a lower strength acid or waiting a few minutes between steps.
