Can I use a vitamin-c mask after exfoliating with acids?

Question

Elizabeth Liotta, MD · Answer

I would not recommend using a vitamin c mask immediately following an abrasive exfoliant because most vitamin c products can be irritating, especially after treatments. It would be best to wait 24-48 hours before using products containing vitamin c, acids, alcohols or retinols.

Hi, thank you for your question! I would recommend waiting a few days in between exfoliating and using a vitamin C mask. Using them directly after each other may irritate the skin.
