Mixing Retinol + AHAs or BHAs



Technically, you can mix them together. Retinol helps your body to produce more skin cells, while exfoliation helps to shed excess skin cells.

Using both the same time can be effective, but you are risking over exfoliating your face.

You can use it if you have been using Retinol or Exfoliants for a long time and have not experienced sensitivity.

The best way is to use Retinol one night, and exfoliate the other night. So one day you produce more skin cells, and the other day you shed the excess skin cells. Perfect!
