Can you apply a retinol night treatment over the top?

Absolutely...I do all the time. My dermatologist gave me retin A which is even a little stronger then just your basic retinol cream. I will often use that in addition a few times a week. I also just wanted to add that during this recent very cold weather that we've had I tend to only use the skin pigment gel in addition to a nightly moisturizer that doesn't contain significant retinol amounts. This very cold weather then the heat indoors causes my skin to be very dry already. You will know based on your own skin type how often you prefer to use both the pigment gel and the retinol cream at night. Absolutely...I do all the time.

At night after you wash your face and use your toner, give it a few minutes and apply the retinol

No, it is intended for night time use only. Sunlight deactivates the retinol.

Dr. Hauschka does not recommend using creams at night. In their philosophy, night time is the time for the body to recover and adding creams interferes with that process. They recommend only using a toner or similar at night.

I wear makeup on my face, so it would be a mess if I tried to layer it over this serum. I recommend applying the serum as directed on the back of the box: use by itself at night. During the day you can use a moisturizer of your choice- Olay suggests one of its moisturizers with SPF in it, but it's your choice if you want to use a moisturizer with sunscreen in it or not.

Absolutely false. A cream with 1% retinol would be highly irritating to the skin if you've never used retinol before. In the pharmacy we sell 0.1% retinol to start and gradually work upwards as your skin tolerates it. 1% retinol is about equal to the lowest strength prescription equivalent.

This one is worn like a mask, so you can lay down while getting the treatment: http://www.amazon.com/Xuuyuu-Rejuvenation-Remover--Anti-acne-Anti-aging/dp/B00LFAEMDK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1422501252&sr;=8-1&keywords;=Photon+mask

No, it is for all skin types. The reason it saids sensitive night cream is because it doesn't have the full amt. of retinol in it so this way your skin doesn't burn or turn red. I have been very pleased with this cream. Its a thumbs up for me.

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

Yes, right up to the bony eye sockets. Where the bone ends to form the eye socket is as far as you want to go go with this potent retinol crime. Do not use over eyelids.

I have read Retinol is more effective at night. Roc makes two deep wrinkle moisturizers: 1) for am use with sunscreen and 2) pm use. I started with the pm deep wrinkle cream and went to both after a few weeks. If I wanted to use only one product I would use the night time product.

Yes avoid eye area. Apply before bed and lay on old sheet.. Best product ever!!

It depends on how sensitive your skin is. Start off at once or twice a week and then work up to every other day. It's important to use a VERY GENTLE circular motion. Too much pressure and you'll abrade the skin. Use in the evenings before bed for best results and follow with a good moisturizer that contains retinol. Your skin regenerates and heals as you sleep.

Yes you can. They just had a segment on Dr. Oz last week that recommended you use it with retin A.

As with any retinol product, go easy at first, perhaps always, depending on the sensitivity of your skin. I use it sparingly and just a few times a week. My skin is very sensitive, but so far I haven't burned my skin. I use the product and alternate with a exfoliate made with Emu oil. It works for me.

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