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

I dont know about the before of after Retin-A, but yes, you can use this under the eye and around the eye area. At least I do and have not have any issues.

Retinol is ment to be used as a night time product only. If you read the information dermatologist post on the web you will find they recommend you not use any Retinol products in the day time.

I would disagree with mixing these two at the same time - true, drug store retinols are not that strong as compared to Retin A by prescription, but why would you risk cancelling out the effects of these products that even when using the less costly version as here, still aren't that cheap? If you want to use them both at the same time, at least let one absorb for awhile (at least 30 minutes) before putting another product on. This Vitamin C is 20%, which is pretty strong, I would NOT use it at the same time as a retinol, at the least it could be ineffective, at the best cancel each other out.

I have super sensitive skin and also use Retin-A and Tazorac to help with acne and wrinkles. I had the Mia and currently use the Olay Pro-X (the one with 3 speeds). I haven't had any problem with it. I use it every day on the highest speed and I try to hold it with gentle pressure to my skin ( though I sometimes catch myself pushing it against my nose to get off flaky skin). So far, I personally have had no issues with it. I really like it (more so than the Clarisonic Mia which I had before).

I am not a medical professional but I do use them together. However since it can be irritating I cut my tretinol back to 3X a week. I would suggest you ask your doctor. And I was told the same as the person below said to use the C in the am and the A in the pm.

I was told that I could use the serum on the upper eye area as well. However, I was sold the Replenishing Eye Cream for the upper lid. I have used the serum on the upper lid but it interfers with my makeup (too oily) but the eye cream on the upper lid works better. Retha

I always follow with a moisturizer after a few minutes. Otherwise I find this too drying. If you use a serum, you can use the serum in the morning and the retinol before bed.

You can use another retinol on top if your skin can handle it with out getting irritation ( peeling, redness ) other wise you can use another moisturizer on top I do because I don't find it moisturizing enugh for my skin. Just always use your serums first before moisturizer.

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 would put on vitamin c follow by B5 then Retin A. As the serum are more easily absorbed so they should be first to apply then follow by cream. And pls do not pat in the serum, u need to massage them in.

I use it the same way I was told to use my prescription RetinA, as told by my dermatologist: use a pea-sized amount for the whole face, perhaps a bit more for neck and chest. As others have stated, a little really does go a long way.

I have used it daily under retinol and have no problem. It's the retinol that you need to be careful withn so I don't use the retinol daily.

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

Hi! You can certainly use iS Clinical Active Serum with a retinal/retinol product. I would recommend using both at night and alternating them because both types of serums are very active and could irritate your skin. Also, please keep in mind that you should always, always use an SPF when using any of these products as they can increase sensitivity to sunlight. Healthy skin is happy skin! :)

this product does not contain sun protection. it is really good though and worthy of discussion with your Doctor, I do not think he would blame you for seeking another less expensive solution,listen to bothy ides and decide. My doctor told me to add a good cream to the retin A and viola no red and peel. I like Clinique moisture surge with the retin A. Don't be shy go for it!! This is good product and I suspect your doctor will agree
