What's doing the work
Where it goes

After cleansing, before moisturiser.

☀️ MORNING · 🌙 EVENING
Don't layer with
Retinol — because this contains Glycolic Acid.
Salicylic Acid — because this contains Glycolic Acid.
Vitamin C — because this contains Glycolic Acid.
Benzoyl Peroxide — because this contains Glycolic Acid.

Using them in the same routine is usually fine — it's applying them together, in one layer, that causes the problem. Check against your own routine →

How much is actually in here

Ingredients above 1% must be listed in order of weight; below that they can be listed in any order. Potassium Sorbate sits at #39 and is used at well under 1%, so roughly everything after it is present in small amounts.
