Salicylic acid and resveratrol
Work well together
Use salicylic acid first and then resveratrol, because antioxidants help protect freshly exfoliated skin from daily damage. Salicylic acid clears out pores while resveratrol soothes skin and fights damage, leaving your face glowing. If your skin feels sensitive, try using them on alternate nights or switch to a gentler strength.
