Pairing with actives (compatibility guide)
| Active | Can I pair it? | How to layer | Notes |

| AHAs/BHAs/PHAs (exfoliating acids) | Yes, with care | Acids first, then this serum | Start 2–3×/week; reduce frequency if you feel stinging or tightness. |
| Retinoids/Retinal/Tretinoin | Yes | Use this serum before retinoid as a buffer if sensitive, or after if you prefer maximum retinoid contact | Excellent to counter dryness/irritation from retinoids. |
