Sensitive skin still needs exfoliating – glycolic acid can be too strong, so opt for mandelic acid instead. The molecules they’re made from are bigger, meaning the serum doesn’t penetrate as deeply and is better for sensitive skin. Use twice a week. If your skin is super sensitive, try applying your serum over moisturiser to dilute it.
