Can I use benzoyl peroxide with retinol?

Benzoyl peroxide + Retinol or retinal (retinoid)

Yes, but not in the same session

Keep benzoyl peroxide and a retinoid out of the same session: use them on different nights, or one in the morning and the other at night.

Corneo routine rules, H3

Either one makes your skin more sensitive to the sun: wear sunscreen every morning. (H1)

A general answer for the two ingredients. Your own routine also depends on your skin and your answers, like pregnancy-safe or a reactive barrier, and Corneo checks those too.
