Glycolic acid and lactobionic acid
Work well together
Use them together in your evening routine, applying glycolic acid first and lactobionic acid second, for gentle exfoliation and soothing care. Glycolic acid smooths the skin while lactobionic acid adds moisture to calm potential irritation. If your skin feels sensitive, try a lower strength or use them on alternate nights.
