Vitamin C after alpha beta daily pads ?

Can we use a vitamin c serum after using the Dr dennis gross alpha beta daily pads? I only use them a couple times a week. My normal evening routine involves a vitamin c serum after cleanser /toner & essence, like Sunday Riley Rapid flash serum or Ole Henriksen truth serum. Does anyone know if this is ok to do or should I skip the serum and only use moisturizer when I use the Dr dennis gross pads? Thanks!

@Fortyniner49 I would also recommend to skip, especially if you are new to acid use. There are various sources that say they do or don't play nice together. It depends on your skin and the formulation/strength of ingredients but better to play it safe. If you are set on using them together spot test first! I personally used the AB pads followed by ole truth serum when I was new to acids (had been using truth serum for years) and overly eager with skincare, it took about a week for the sensitivity reaction and redness to fully subside and it wasn't pretty.

@CC3616Unidentified I'm so happy you responded and have used the truth serum! Thanks so much. I will be extra careful. Better safe than sorry! Thanks again for your input!
