I use The Ordinary's mandelic acid serum every night and it works wonders for my skin. I want to add SKIN1004's serum to my skincare routine, but can I use the two together? I have many dark spots from acne💕

Hi Thea 👋
Yes, you can definitely use them together! The SKIN1004 serum is known for providing glow and moisture while calming the skin – it can actually help balance any stress that the mandelic acid creates. So it's a nice combo!
Here are tips for use
-Use sunscreen every day. Acids + light = higher risk of pigmentation.
-Pay attention to your skin. If you notice redness, peeling, or increased sensitivity, cut back on the mandelic acid to 2-3 times a week.
🧴 How to use them together:
Example 1:
-Cleanse
-Toner (optional)
-Mandelic acid (The Ordinary) – wait 5-10 min
-SKIN1004 serum
-Moisturizer
Example 2:
– Mandelic acid every other night
– SKIN1004 on the other nights
This gives the skin time to recover and reduces the risk of irritation for sensitive skin e.g. 💓
Wishing you a great day ahead 👋
