Is it okay to use skincare from different brands?
“In general, it’s usually okay to mix and match products from different brands without encountering too many issues,” says Hammer. “With trial and error, you can typically determine which combinations work well for you and which ones don’t.”
Is it bad to switch skin care products often?
Both experts say changing up products is absolutely beneficial with changing seasons. Dr. Wexler says it’s also a good idea to switch up products depending on your skin’s natural changes—if it suddenly goes from dry to oily, if you have an acne flare up, or if you need to up your retinol dose as your skin ages.
Can I use different products for day and night?
You can use the same set of skincare in the morning and evening, if it suits you and that’s what you prefer to do. Using a different set can be expensive, although it might eventually work out to be the same, as each product lasts longer.
Should you use multiple skincare products?
How much you use and the combination of ingredients you use are both of prime importance. “If you’re using too much of an active product or using too many products at the same time, it can cause irritation, dryness, redness, and potentially even a chemical burn,” says Darden.
Can you use 2 different face creams?
Mixing can either mean layering products, or alternating frequently (say, one day to the next) from one brand to another. That’s fine if you’re using basic glycerin-based moisturizers.

How many products can you put on your face?
Experts agree that the skin only needs three to four products—and sometimes zero skincare products—to thrive. “Our skin knows what to do—we just need to learn how to support, rather than force and suppress, healthy functioning,” Angela Peck, the holistic aesthetician behind Wholistic Skin + Care, tells HelloGiggles.
How many skincare products should you really be using?
It’s best when starting a regimen to begin with the basics—like one cleanser and one moisturizer, and build on it from there to ensure nothing’s making your skin freak out, she advises.
Should you stick with your skincare routine?
“If you find something that works well for you, stick with it,” Dr. Stevenson says, but at the same time, it’s good to be open to new technologies and the possibility that there may be something out there that’s better formulated for your skin.
Should you pick and choose your skin-care products?
When it comes to skin care, there are two camps: those who are die-hard, single-brand loyalists, and those who prefer to pick and choose products for a curated regimen. But is one way better than the other? If you read the directions on any skin-care product, it’s likely it’ll say to use it with other items in the brand’s line.
How often should you introduce a new product to your skincare lineup?
Recognize that introducing a new product to your lineup is something that should be done with care—and time. Only introduce one new product into your routine at a time, Dr. Stevenson advises. She also suggests giving each product at least two weeks before you introduce another one as a general rule of thumb.
