Note
Some people use Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that helps in exfoliation – the removal of dead cells. The skin becomes sensitive. Both solutions must not be used together, otherwise there can be a lot of irritation or itchiness. If AHA and glycolic acids – (helps to break down accumulation of cells) – are used together then Vitamin C serum is even more unsafe to use.
The same goes for retinol, a substance that counters dark spots, wrinkles and improves the texture of the skin.
You can use Vitamin C serum in the morning and AHA in the evening.
Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid makes the skin plump. First, you must apply Vitamin C serum, then the hyaluronic acid, and finish up with a moisturizer.
