How often can I use it, and can I combine it with acids or retinoids? — PEELING FACE MASK WITH ACTIVATED CHARCOAL AND BLACK SUGAR 2x7ML VICTORIA BEAUTY

Because this product delivers both physical exfoliation (black sugar) and deep cleansing (charcoal), limit use to once or twice a week. More frequent use can compromise the skin barrier, especially if you also use chemical exfoliants (AHAs, BHAs, PHAs), retinoids, or enzyme peels.

If your routine includes leave-on acids or a retinoid, schedule the mask-scrub on a night when you skip those actives — for example, use the mask on Sunday, resume retinoid on Monday. On the same day, avoid layering strong actives immediately after rinsing; a simple hydrating toner and barrier-supportive moisturizer are safer.

Listen to your skin: if you notice persistent tightness, flaking, stinging when applying other products, or increased sensitivity, reduce frequency to once every 10–14 days. The sachet format makes it easy to keep a single-use portion on hand for occasional "reset" days after heavy makeup, sunscreen buildup, or city pollution exposure.
