AHA blend glycolic and citric acids and hyaluronic acid: depends on the strength

Depends on the strength

Use the acid first and wait ten to fifteen minutes before applying hyaluronic acid, because strong acids can break down the hydrating gel. Acids exfoliate while hyaluronic acid plumps skin with water, but mixing them directly can cause irritation and dryness. To fix this, apply them at different times or give the acid time to sink in before adding hydration.
