Which active ingredients to mix together
- Retinol and peptides : a winning duo that works in synergy when it comes to anti-aging skincare mixology , as they slow down skin aging and make the skin stronger ;
- Hyaluronic acid and vitamin C : hyaluronic acid, being a moisturizer , can be combined with all active ingredients, including vitamin C, provided it is applied and allowed to absorb;
- Niacinamide and vitamin C : Niacinamide is suitable for all skin types , and as in the previous case, it should be used after the previous active ingredient has been absorbed. The ideal percentage is 5%, but the most important thing is that it is not combined with low pH, otherwise it can cause irritation.
Which active ingredients should not be mixed together?
- Retinol and exfoliating acids : it is best not to use them together as they are both complex and high-performance active ingredients that could cause irritation ;
- Niacinamide and salicylic acid : As mentioned above, when combined with low-pH active ingredients like salicylic acid, it can cause irritation . In any case, it's always best to use the ingredients one at a time and let them absorb;
- Peptides and vitamin C : in particular, copper peptide, if used with vitamin C, oxidizes and completely loses its effectiveness;
- Retinol and vitamin C : a risky combo for more sensitive skin , so it's best to use it in two separate skincare routines.
