When do you use the Tri-retinol?
2082172
At night after you wash your face and use your toner, give it a few minutes and apply the retinol

The tri-retinol is applied only at night. Check the box as it indicates, I believe, to only apply at night.

The instructions are on the box. If unsure, you can always check with your dermatologist

Actually for most anti-wrinkle products to be truly affective you need to start ASAP. I am 24 and use the serum and moisturizer for dual purposes. Great for long-term skin appearance. Plus I had a severe case of acne and was left with red marks (thankfully no bumps or pocks) and the retinol has faded the marks to the point that I don't need foundation anymore!

I use the serum at night and after that dries, I use Reviva Lab's Elastin & DMAE Night Cream as my moisturizer. I suppose you could use a Retinol Cream with it, I just haven't. Just experiment like I do.

Do not use retinol creams during Summer. When you use them apply them only over night. Sunscreen creams do not have Retinol. Use them during Summer then you will not burn.

You can apply before using the Retin A and it will decrease the irritation and dryness commonly associated with habitual use of prescription vit A products.

I was told by my dermatologist that I could use with my prescription strenght retinol product. However, it would be best to consult your doctor for advice.

It's a great product and can be used w/ the ageless intensive moistuizer, but beware, it is strong and does what Retinol is supposed to do & that is resurface your skin.In the process it may burn your face a bit, so use sparingly.

Tiffany, you don't want to wear the retinol under makeup as I am told the properties break down in sunlight. Wear it only at night. Shannon

I use retinol cream and vitamin c serum. I've used products by skin medica & pevonia and others

I havent used them together in the same application, and honestly I dont see the need, but you can alternate the days with retinol and vitamin c

Maybe, you can try. If you have sensitive skin, I would not try it. Putting a lot of product on your face could irritate the skin and not help with any problems at all. If you have not experienced a product with retinol in it, I'd say try one product first then build with another one after you get used to it.

I have used this product and have used prescription retinol - this worked just the same. I use the strongest 1 % so I get pretty good results. If you are new to retinol I would start with the lowest strength....good luck

Absolutely! I use it with prescription Retin A. I put the Retin A on first and try to wait a good hour before putting the Niacinamide on. However, if you don't have that time I'd say just wait until it's good and absorbed. You could put the Niacinamide serum on first if you want to buffer the retinol some. This works great to calm the skin and reduce redness.

I am also using a retinal product at night. Have not used the retinol and vitamin C at the same time.

I would advise against using this during the day. Retinyl Palmitate and retinoic acid become carcinogenic in sunlight so like all products that contain Retinol (or Retinyl which breaks down into Retinol) you do not want to have this on your skin if you're going to be in the sun.

Retinol is strong, so it is recommended to start with the .5 and build up to the 1.0

Once you start using it, you will get a feel for how much and when to use it. I use this and the progesterone cream at the same time and apply to opposite sides of the body. (Right tummy-left tummy, right forearm-left forearm, .... then switch sides every month.) I skip both for the first week ( 1st of month to about 5th, 6th or 7th - whichever is convenient or needed), then use both the rest of the month. I usually put it on in the morning after my shower. If menopause symptoms start showing up, I add a small dose before bed for a few days.
