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.

SynergyGlycerin + Squalane

[Class rule] Humectants pull moisture in, emollients lock it down. Classic hydration layering.

Add both products to your routine and check full compatibility
