Frequently asked questions
Can I use Polyglutamic Acid and Urea together?
Yes, and they work even better together. Both are gentle, barrier-friendly ingredients. Layering them gives you extra hydration and comfort with no conflict at all.
Which goes first, Polyglutamic Acid or Urea?
Apply Polyglutamic Acid first, then Urea. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
Should I use Polyglutamic Acid in the morning or at night?
Polyglutamic Acid: works morning or night. Apply after toner and before moisturiser, morning or night.
Should I use Urea in the morning or at night?
Urea: works morning or night. Use 5–10% on the face or body daily. Higher strengths can sting on broken or freshly exfoliated skin.
