Benzoyl peroxide and aha blend glycolic and citric acids: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them on alternate nights because combining them in the same routine causes severe skin irritation and redness. Using both strong exfoliating acids and benzoyl peroxide at the same time strips and damages the skin barrier. The shopper can alternate their nights of use or switch to a gentler strength.
