And you likely don\u2019t have to worry as much about sensitizing your skin by layering on multiple actives. In fact, \u201cthey can be combined with other active ingredients for more potent treatment, as well as be used any time day or night,\u201d says Yadav.

Additionally,\u00a0\u201dI would avoid using benzoyl peroxide with any of these products due to very likely irritation,\u201d Karp says.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As for which alt-retinol to choose? Well, the good news is that there has never been more high-quality, effective options out there. There is no \u201cbetter\u201d or \u201cworse\u201d retinol alternative (bakuchiol doesn\u2019t trump rambutan, or vice versa); it\u2019s more about which active is most compatible with your skin type. \u201cFor example, pure rosehip oil is effective, but not everyone likes oily textures,\u201d Yadav explains.<\/p>\n<p>All the more reason to get testing\u2014here are some winners below:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1675549\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The best part about alt-retinols is that they generally play nice with other ingredients; so you\u2019ll often find a cocktail of high-powered botanicals along with the alt-retinol player.
