AHA blend glycolic and citric acids and tri-ceramide complex: keep them apart

Keep them apart

Use them at different times of day, applying the acid blend first and the ceramide complex later, because the strong acid ruins the ceramide's protective work. The acid is too sharp and breaks down the soothing ceramides, leaving your skin unprotected and irritated. You can fix this by using the acid in the morning and the ceramides at night, or by spacing them out on alternate days.
