The electron-electron relaxation in impure two-dimensional superconductors is studied. All channels of the electron-electron interaction classified in the Nambu representation are taken into account. It is shown that the recombination relaxation rate originates from quasipartical processes associated with fluctuations of the electron density and the phase of the order parameter. At low temperatures the recombination relaxation rate has a double exponential temperature dependence. The scattering relaxation rate at low temperatures has a power law temperature dependence due to contributions from gapless collective excitations, the phase modes. Two-layer superconductor-normal metal system is also considered. It is shown that the recombination relaxation rate in the superconducting layer has a single exponential factor at low temperatures in comparison with a one layer superconducting system. This increase in the recombination relaxation rate originates from the inter-layer Coulomb interaction and may be used in constructing of superconducting radiation detectors.
