Adapalene and aha blend glycolic and citric acids: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them on alternate nights because they are both strong and can irritate skin when combined. Both ingredients work hard to renew the skin, but using them together can cause redness, dryness, and a damaged barrier. To fix this, you can try a gentler strength or space them out on different nights.
