Using multiple skincare products can enhance your routine, but mixing strong active ingredients incorrectly can cause irritation.
Ingredients like exfoliating acids, retinoids, and vitamin C should be introduced gradually and not layered all at once. Overloading the skin can weaken the barrier, causing redness, sensitivity, and breakouts.
To avoid reactions, introduce one active at a time and alternate usage on different days or times. Keep your routine simple and listen to your skin's response.
