Can I use retinol and collagen together?

Asked 2 years ago

I want to add more tried and true products to my skincare routine. I want my skin to feel hydrated, soft, and firm. I have heard a lot about the benefits of retinol and collagen for the skin. Is it safe for me to take both retinol and collagen together?

Well it depends on the collagen supplement you are using. Dont mix Retinol with supplements that contain Vitamin C, Bonzoyl peroxide and AHA/BHA acids, as these are exfoliating which can dry out skin. Bonzoyl Peroxide and retinol have a tendency to cancel each other out, so plan accordingly.
