Mixing skincare isn’t always a good idea… 🤍
Some ingredients work beautifully together—others? Not so much.
Here are a few combinations to be mindful of:
• Strong exfoliating acids + retinol
→ Can lead to irritation, sensitivity, and a compromised skin barrier
• Multiple exfoliating acids layered together
→ More isn’t better… this often results in over-exfoliation
• Benzoyl peroxide + retinol
→ Can cancel each other out and increase dryness
• Vitamin C + strong acids (in the same routine)
→ May be too harsh for many skin types
Healthy skin is all about balance—not overloading your routine.
When in doubt, keep it simple and consistent. Your skin will thank you. ✨
