Can I use Glyco 6 every day or should it be applied on alternate days? And when it comes to a face moisturizer, should I put it on before or after using Glyco 6? I'm a bit unsure about the right routine to follow.

For beginners stay with alternate days or 2-3 times per week especially if you are new to glycolic acid. For experienced users you can gradually increase to daily use.Use moisture after applying this cream.

Question

I'm dealing with mild acne and have noticed that my skin tends to be pretty dry. I'm thinking about using Alograce cream at night to help with the dryness, but I'm a bit unsure if it's suitable for acne or if it will actually help moisturize my skin. Could you give me some advice on whether this is a good idea or if there's something better I should consider?
