Correct Skincare Combinations – What to Mix & What to Avoid

Combining the wrong ingredients can do more harm than good. Here's a quick breakdown of what works well together—and what doesn’t.

✅ Safe Combinations:

• Vitamin C + Sunscreen
  → Brightens + protects from UV damage

• Niacinamide + Hyaluronic Acid
  → Reduces redness + hydrates skin

• Retinol + Peptides
  → Boosts collagen, repairs skin overnight

❌ Avoid These Mixes:

• Retinol + Vitamin C
  → May irritate sensitive skin. Use Vit C in AM, Retinol at night.

• AHAs/BHAs + Retinol
  → Both are exfoliating; combining can cause peeling and dryness.

• Niacinamide + Vitamin C
  → May cancel each other out (unless formulated properly).

💡 Tip: Introduce new actives slowly, one at a time, and always patch test!
