These pads can be combined with retinol, but it requires a careful approach to avoid skin irritation!
Both BHA and retinol are active ingredients that can lead to irritation, especially when used together. To minimize the risk, one can focus on:
- Start gently: Begin by using the products on different days to see how the skin reacts.
- Moisture is key: Make sure to use a good moisturizer after applying both products.
- Use sun protection: Retinol and BHA can make the skin more sensitive to the sun, so always use sunscreen during the day.
- Avoid other irritating products: Avoid combining with other strong exfoliants or active ingredients like vitamin C or AHA at the same time.
Recommended routine
☀️Morning: Use COSRX One Step Original Clear Pad after cleansing, followed by moisturizer and sunscreen.
🌙Evening: Use retinol after cleansing, followed by moisturizer.
If your skin is sensitive, it may be wise to use the pads 2-3 times a week and retinol every other night until the skin has adjusted.
Wishing you a nice day ahead 🙌
