Zain asked 5 years ago

AoA Doctors. I have a small query and afterwards a concern. I hope that you would answer my insignificant query.
Skin Type: Combination
Concern: Post Inflammatory Hyper-pigmentation and Skin Complexion.
Current Medication: Isotrex gel (Isotretinoin + Erythromycin) at Night
Other Products I use:
1. Nuetrogena Oil Free Acne Face-wash, active Ingredient 2% salicylic acid.
2. Spectramatt Sunblock ( In gel form)

Query: Can I use Vitamin C such as Timeless 20% Vit A+E+Frulic Acid ( L-Ascorbic Acid)
OR
SHIRO C&C Facial Serum (Mag. Ascorbyle Phosphate) ?
Concern: And If I can, should I use it before or after Isotrex and what should be the gap between using these products.

What more recommendation Can you give me besides these.

Thank you for asking the question.
There is no interaction between vitamin C and Isotrex if used together.
anyhow if you want to use them separately, a gap of 2 to 3 hours will be enough.
Thank you.
