💧 Skin Type Compatibility

⚠️ Don’t Combine With

• Benzoyl Peroxide (caution): Benzoyl peroxide oxidatively degrades retinoids when co-applied. The retinoid + BPO + light combination drove >50% degradation of tretinoin in ~2 h and ~95% in 24 h; retinaldehyde is the direct one-step precursor of retinoic acid and shares the same oxidation-prone polyene structure, so BPO blunts its efficacy. Apply at separate times of day (retinoid PM, BPO AM) or alternating days. Adapalene is the BPO-stable retinoid for same-routine combination.
