When Used Together

CautionMandelic Acid + Salicylic Acid

[Class rule] Combining AHA and BHA increases exfoliation beyond what most skin can tolerate.

Use on alternate days or choose one.

SynergyNiacinamide + Salicylic Acid

Niacinamide reduces post-BHA redness while salicylic acid unclogs pores — excellent acne-fighting duo.

Add both products to your routine and check full compatibility
