Hi! Welcome to Maelove.

Today we address the question, can I use Vitamin C and Retinoids together?

The answer is yes you can use these ingredients together in your skincare routine.
There have been some clinical studies where both ingredients were used in a skincare routine and the results were positive.
One is from Herndon and colleagues in 2016 in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology.

They had 44 testers with hyperpigmented and photodamaged skin use a 30% vitamin C product and a 0.5% retinol product for 12 weeks.
By weeks 8 and 12, the researchers found significant benefits to skin clarity and evenness, fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and skin smoothness as graded by a clinician.
