Vitamin C and lactobionic acid
Work well together
Use them together in the morning because the acid helps the vitamin C soak in better. Vitamin C brightens the skin, and lactobionic acid gently removes dead skin cells so the vitamin absorbs better. If your skin feels sensitive, use a lower strength or apply them on alternate days.
