ATIVOS DE SKINCARE: Quais são as COMBINAÇÕES PROIBIDAS na sua rotina de cuidados com a pele

Summary

In this video, Dr. Marina Rachida, a dermatologist, highlights common skincare mistakes by discussing which active ingredients should not be combined. She explains the potential risks of mixing retinol with exfoliating acids, vitamin C, and other powerful ingredients, offering alternatives like alternating nights or using products designed for compatibility. Dr. Rachida also debunks the myth about pH levels, assuring that it’s more important to focus on ingredient stability and skin tolerance. The video aims to help viewers create effective skincare routines while avoiding irritation and maximizing the benefits of each product.

Takeaways

• 😀 Avoid mixing Retinol with exfoliating acids like Glycolic Acid, as both can be irritating when used together. Instead, alternate their use on different nights.
• 😀 Retinol and Vitamin C can both cause skin irritation. To avoid this, use Vitamin C in the morning and Retinol at night.
• 😀 Vitamin C and Peptides should not be used together in the same routine as Vitamin C can oxidize peptides, rendering them ineffective. Use Vitamin C in the morning and peptides at night.
• 😀 Avoid combining Retinol and Benzoyl Peroxide, as both can cause excessive irritation. Alternate their use or look for stable combinations in formulated products.
• 😀 Benzoyl Peroxide and Vitamin C should not be used together as Benzoyl Peroxide can oxidize Vitamin C. Use Vitamin C in the morning and Benzoyl Peroxide at night.
• 😀 The myth that products with different pH levels cancel each other out is false. Most skincare products are formulated to work with the skin’s natural pH, so pH differences aren’t a concern.
• 😀 Overloading your skincare routine with multiple active ingredients, like Vitamin C, Niacinamide, and Retinol, is not effective and can lead to irritation. Use ingredients at different times or days for better results.
• 😀 Always consider your skin’s tolerance when combining active ingredients. Too many potent ingredients in one routine can overwhelm the skin and cause adverse reactions.
• 😀 When using multiple potentially irritating ingredients, it’s best to alternate their use (e.g., Retinol one night, exfoliating acids the next) to minimize irritation.
• 😀 If you use products that combine ingredients like Retinol and Glycolic Acid, they are designed to be stable together, but it’s still important to monitor skin tolerance and avoid applying other irritating products simultaneously.

Q & A

Can you mix retinol with glycolic acid in your skincare routine?

Technically, yes, but both retinol and glycolic acid are potentially irritating to the skin. It's recommended to alternate their use, applying retinol on one night and glycolic acid on the next. This prevents excessive irritation and allows the skin to tolerate both ingredients effectively.

What is the issue with combining retinol and vitamin C in a skincare routine?

Retinol and vitamin C can both be irritating to the skin, especially when used together. Vitamin C, in its pure form, can worsen skin sensitivity, and combining it with retinol can intensify irritation. It's best to use vitamin C in the morning and retinol at night to avoid this conflict.

Can you use vitamin C with collagen peptides in the same skincare routine?

No, it's not advisable to use vitamin C and collagen peptides at the same time. Vitamin C can oxidize the peptides, potentially rendering them ineffective. To maximize the benefits, apply vitamin C in the morning and collagen peptides in the evening.

Is it safe to combine retinol with benzoyl peroxide?

No, combining retinol with benzoyl peroxide can be highly irritating to the skin. Benzoyl peroxide can also oxidize retinol, reducing its effectiveness. If you want to use both, alternate between nights or choose products formulated with both ingredients, which are designed for stability.

What is the impact of using benzoyl peroxide and vitamin C together?

Using benzoyl peroxide with vitamin C is not recommended because benzoyl peroxide can oxidize vitamin C, making it ineffective. To avoid this issue, use vitamin C in the morning and benzoyl peroxide at night.

Why should you avoid mixing too many active ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, glycolic acid, and retinol?

Using multiple active ingredients simultaneously can overwhelm your skin, leading to irritation and diminishing the benefits of each ingredient. It's better to carefully select and alternate products to maximize their effectiveness without harming your skin.

Is it true that you should avoid products with different pH levels in your skincare routine?

No, this is a myth. While products may have different pH levels, they are formulated to be effective at a range of pH values and will work well with your skin. There's no need to worry about the pH of products unless specifically mentioned by the manufacturer.

Can I use retinol and glycolic acid together if the product is specifically formulated with both ingredients?

Yes, products that are specially formulated to include both retinol and glycolic acid are designed for better skin tolerance. These formulations have been tested to ensure that both ingredients work together without causing excessive irritation.

What is the recommended approach to using vitamin C and retinol together in a skincare routine?

To avoid irritation, use vitamin C in the morning and retinol at night. This separation ensures that both ingredients work optimally without irritating your skin.

Can I use benzoyl peroxide and retinol in the same skincare routine if I use a product that combines both?

It is possible to use a product that combines both benzoyl peroxide and retinol, but such products tend to be more irritating to the skin. If you choose this option, make sure to monitor your skin closely and consult with a dermatologist if needed.
