Yes, Paula’s Choice Vitamin C can be safely layered with BHA for most skin types that tolerate active ingredients well, provided the combination is introduced gradually.

Begin by acclimating your skin to BHA alone (e.g., 2–3 times per week for 2–4 weeks) before incorporating Vitamin C in the morning routine or retinol at night. For optimal results and barrier protection, apply Paula’s Choice Replenishing Toner prior to the exfoliant and serums. It serves as a hydrating buffer, enabling the use of multiple actives while minimizing irritation risk. Monitor for signs of sensitivity and adjust frequency as needed.
