Panthenol and aha blend glycolic and citric acids
Work well together
Use them together by applying the acid first and the panthenol right after, because panthenol calms any redness from the acid. The acid smooths and brightens your skin, while panthenol adds moisture and stops the acid from causing stinging or redness. If your skin feels sensitive, you can try a lower strength of acid or give your skin more time between applications.
