Should You Use Retinol and Vitamin C at the Same Time?

There are several reasons why you shouldn’t combine the two!

First, Vitamin C is most effective in a slightly acidic environment, whereas Retinol works best in a slightly basic environment.

Second, Vitamin C is an antioxidant, so it is best applied in the morning to protect your skin throughout the day. Retinol can be deactivated by the sun, so it’s best used at night.

Both Vitamin C and Retinol are great parts of an effective anti-aging skin care routine.
