I don't mix them, per se. I put the keralyt gel on first in a thin layer, but only on my arms. The Carmol 20 by itself was fine for my legs. Then I would wait a few minutes and apply the carmol 20 over it and then use a loofah to scrub in circles for about 5 seconds in one spot and then move it. And you arms will be red, but in the morning they will be fine. I would use the keralyt gel for very long, it thins the skin and can cause more problems further down the road. But I think it's a good start to get rid of the bumps and get the skin used to shedding more often so maybe the plugs will not form back. I am going to try Epilyt from dermadoctor in the next month and use it instead of keralyt gel. The salicylic powder is what everyone is talking about mixing and putting back into the tube. I would NOT put the keralyt gel in the same container as carmol 20 for storage. You could probably mix the two in a glass dish before applying and put them on at the same time.
