- For dry or dull skin, it is preferable to use a supportive moisturizer afterward to reduce feelings of tightness and maintain skin comfort.
- It is not recommended to use it in the same routine with retinol, other exfoliating acids, direct vitamin C, or peptide products to reduce the likelihood of irritation.
