Dermatologists share the seemingly dynamic duos that are actually a disaster for your skin.
Instead, Robinson and Chan recommend relegating benzoyl peroxide to your morning routine and retinol to your nighttime one.Benzoyl peroxide pairs well with a prescription-grade ingredient called topical clindamycin, which "works synergistically with BPO to combat acne-causing bacteria," Robinson says. Retinol, on the other hand, is better suited with hydrating glycerin,, like glycolic, lactic, and citric. "Both of these ingredients disrupt the skin barrier," Chan explains.
Instead, alternate the days you throw them on. One or two times a week, Chan reaches for an AHA with a 10 to 20 percent concentration. On the other days — and if her skin isn't acting up — retinol is put into action.
