Retin A and Benzoyl Peroxide?
I am using over the counter Benzoyl Peroxide Gel, I believe it is 10%. I use it in the daytime. I would like to begin using the Retin A. Should I use it only at night? And not with the Benzoyl Peroxide? Also, Can I use the Clarisonic Brush before using the Retin A?
Yes, the Retin-A should not be used at same time as Benzoyl Peroxide so nighttime application of the Retin-A is appropriate. You can use the Clarisonic Brush before using the Retin-A as long as it doesn’t cause irritation.
