Can you use centella with mandelic acid?
Yes — centella is one of the gentlest, most compatible ingredients in skincare. It layers fine with mandelic acid and can actually improve tolerance.
Why
Centella Asiatica (Cica) calms inflammation, supports wound healing, and strengthens the barrier. It has no pH dependencies, no irritation profile, and no conflicts with active ingredients.
How to layer them
Apply centella as a hydrating or calming layer in your routine — typically after cleansing and before heavier products. Then layer mandelic acid as normal. Either AM or PM works.
