Can I use this set if I am currently using retinol or other acid-based toners?

You should not use this set simultaneously with retinol, acid toners, or other strong exfoliating products. The ACNE CONTROL COMPLEX already contains five acids, and the scrub adds mechanical exfoliation. Combining these with other potent actives can overwhelm the skin barrier, leading to increased sensitivity, redness, or stinging. This set is designed to be an active skincare regimen on its own, providing sufficient exfoliation and oil control.

If you are currently using retinol or acid toners, consider pausing them while you introduce this set. Allow your skin to adjust to the new routine for at least two weeks before reintroducing other actives, and even then, use them at different times of day or on alternating days. For example, you might use the ACNE CONTROL set in the evening and reserve retinol for mornings, or vice versa, depending on your skin's tolerance. Always listen to your skin; if it feels tight, dry, or irritated, reduce the frequency of use or switch to a gentler, non-active cleanser. Consult a specialist if you are unsure about how to structure your routine safely, especially if you have chronic skin conditions or are on medication.
