Allantoin and citric acid: work well together

Work well together

Use them together by applying the citric acid first and the allantoin right after, because it helps calm down any stinging. Citric acid helps smooth and brighten the skin, while allantoin calms irritation and speeds up healing. If your skin feels sensitive, you can try a gentler product or wait longer between applying them.
