Can I use this serum with retinoids or exfoliating acids?

The DNC serum contains hyaluronic acid and snail extract, which are generally compatible with retinoids and exfoliating acids. However, because both retinoids and acids can increase skin sensitivity, it's wise to introduce the serum slowly. Start by using the serum on alternate nights from your retinoid or acid product, then gradually increase frequency as your skin adapts.

If you experience persistent redness, stinging, or unusual dryness, reduce usage or apply the serum only in the morning while using stronger actives at night. The radish enzyme in this formula provides gentle conditioning, but combining multiple active ingredients always requires caution. When in doubt, consult a skincare professional before mixing actives.
