When Used Together

CautionGlycolic Acid + Salicylic Acid

Using AHA and BHA together at high concentrations risks over-exfoliation and barrier damage.

Alternate use — AHA one day, BHA the next.

CautionLactic Acid + Salicylic Acid

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

Use on alternate days or choose one.

Add both products to your routine and check full compatibility
