Glycolic acid and linoleic acid: work well together

Work well together

Use them together by applying glycolic acid first and linoleic acid right after, because lipids help comfort skin after exfoliation. Glycolic acid exfoliates to smooth skin, while linoleic acid helps rebuild the skin barrier to keep it strong. If your skin feels sensitive, try a lower strength of glycolic acid or wait a few minutes between steps.
