Lactic acid and tromethamine
Work well together
Use lactic acid and tromethamine together in the same routine by applying tromethamine first, because it balances the acid for a gentler feel. Tromethamine softens the sharp bite of lactic acid so the skin stays comfortable and irritation-free. The shopper can use a lower strength if the mix still feels too strong.
