Can I use benzoyl peroxide with vitamin C?
Benzoyl peroxide + Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid)
Yes, but not in the same session
Keep benzoyl peroxide and vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) out of the same session: on different days, or one in the morning and the other at night.
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.
