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.

SynergyNiacinamide + Salicylic Acid

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