What can you not mix with Vitamin C?
Vitamin C is an acid (sometimes known as ascorbic acid) and a powerful antioxidant. Mixing it with AHA’s and BHA’s such as Glycolic Acid and Salicylic Acid will significantly imbalance the pH levels of the products and reduce the power of your Vitamin C skincare.
