Can I use Retinol with Salix Nigra Bark Extract?
Use with care
Retinol and Salix Nigra Bark Extract are both potent actives that increase cell turnover or lower skin pH. Layering them in the same routine can over-exfoliate, compromise the skin barrier, and cause irritation. If you want both, use them on alternate days or at different times (one AM, one PM).
