Vitamin C and retinol: not a good combination for your skin

Those who use vitamin C and retinol in their skincare should, according to Marie Claire, avoid applying them at the same time. The two active ingredients may interfere with each other.

The source suggests that the combination may reduce the effectiveness of the products. The advice is to apply them separately, for example at different times of the day.

Retinol is often used to combat skin aging, while vitamin C is known for its antioxidant properties. The source warns of possible irritation when used simultaneously.

Those who want to keep both products in their routine should, according to Marie Claire, apply them at different times. This way, the skin remains in good condition.

This message is a summary based on the mentioned source and is not medical advice. Always consult a doctor or pharmacist in case of complaints.
