Ingredient Conflict

Adapalene + Benzoyl Peroxide: not the same night

Both are real, useful actives on their own. Layered together, or used the same night, they're more likely to irritate skin or destabilize each other than to work better. The fix isn't dropping one — it's alternating them.

The schedule that works

Mon / Wed / Fri
Adapalene
Tue / Thu / Sat
Benzoyl Peroxide

Both skip Sunday. This is the same staggering Skinzy's own routine builder applies automatically when a scan recommends two conflicting actives — see each ingredient's own page for its full introduction schedule.
