Using 10% glycolic acids pads and 0.025% tretonin
  • darkeyes
    Is it ok for me to use 10% glycolic pads on my face before using Ziana (which contains clindamycin and 0.025% tretonin)?



    I usually use the 10% glycolic pads in the AM but my AM regimen is getting extensive and so I would like to move the glycolic pads to the PM before applying the Ziana. I also feel like it would be better in the PM as it will remove any last traces of makeup, etc. Will the pH's, ingredients, etc mesh well? Will they both be effective if applied both at night? I am a OSPT btw.



    Here are the ingredients of the 10% glycolic pads:



    Peter Thomas Roth Gentle Complexion Pads:

    Salicylic Acid 0.5 %, Water, Alcohol Denat., Glycolic Acid, Arginine, Butylene Glycol, Witch Hazel Extract, Chamomile Extract, Green Tea Extract, Comfrey Extract, Peach Extract, Whole Leaf Aloe Vera, Allantoin, Fragrance, Triethanolamine.



    Thanks!

    Who knows lol :) Some say you can't combine glycolic acid with retinoids (Example: MD. L. Baumann) , while others say you can but you can't combine retinoids with L-ascorbic (exampl: Cosmetic consultant G. Van Oudenhove).

    It makes me fustrated aswell!
