AHA blend glycolic and citric acids and betaine
Work well together
Apply the acid blend first, then follow with betaine, because the hydrating ingredient helps calm the skin after exfoliation. The acid smooths the surface while betaine restores moisture so your face feels comfortable instead of dry. You can switch to a gentler acid strength or wait longer between steps if your skin feels sensitive.
