I heard use of sun deactivate retinol so use should be limited for night. For that reason I hesitated long to buy this product. Does someone think so

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.

Not sure what you mean. I have the RoC morning tube and a night tube and use them both daily. We live on a lake and I still use sunscreenover it. Not sure how much it helps but I heard this is the best cream to use and I do like it. Wrinkles e not getting worse.

They have one for day and one for night. I have used both - but not at the same time. Sometimes I buy the day and sometimes the night. I use every other day or night (depending which one I purchased). No problems. Like the product. Will keep buying.

I am told the factor that makes daytime use a no-go in products is retinol. I have the list of ingredients in front of me and don't see retinol. Could it be called something else? All I know is that I've been using it day and night for more than a year and had no ill effects that I know of. My skin is very dry. I had to stop using the cleanser for that reason. I love the serum, though, and use it under the nighttime moisturizer day and night.

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 do not use every day. I alternate between the DermaSilk and Roc Retinal. I still have the bottle I purchased in June. It goes on best when your skin is damp so put it on immediately after washing or splashing your face and neck. It truly works!

I used it for both day and night because I have super dry skin. I liked it because my face did not feel dried out during the day. I never wear makeup . . .just eye makeup so that may make a difference. I loved it!

I honestly noticed a difference after several nights. I stopped having to use bc the dark circles went away but my boyfriend has been using it and he noticed a difference after the first night. it really works!

I would not recommend to use for so few hours. I had use it for 3 months 24h/day. In your case I recommend the Diminishing Serum, instead of the sheets.

Miracle Worker nighttime pads have retinoids in it, and when I checked Hope in a Jar on Philosophy's website it also has a retinoid, so I wouldn't use them at the same time. I use Miracle Worker moisturizer in the daytime with the vitamin C powder, and then at night I use the Miracle Worker pads and Full of Promise. Perhaps you could double check with Philosophy directly to find out for certain. Good luck!

Retinol products are often prescribed to clear up acne, so I doubt if you need to be concerned. This particular product is the best non prescription retinol product that I have found and is often sold in Dermatologist offices for acne/anti-aging. With that said, it is important to note that there is a short period of time (sometimes one to two months) where your skin may develop more acne while the skin adjust to the retinol. This is usually because sloughing dead skin cells can create dry skin. In response to the dryness, your skin may produce more oil and hence the potential for more acne. It is usually a temporary situation and can be remedied by keeping your skin clean and hydrated. This is a great non prescription product for acne and anti-aging. It's very important to note that you should start out slowly. Once a week may be a good starting point and then build up the frequency of usage over time. This will also help to minimize the reaction you have. Adjust the frequency based on how your skin responds. It is not surprising for people to take a full year, or longer, to tolerate daily usage.

Follow the directions that are included. These are professional products and are used by estheticians. I personally would not use it in the summer months. I try to use sunscreen whenever I think of it. This product is a very good one but use as directed. Lay off the retinol products for 3 days prior to using and you have to wait one week before you go back to using them. Good luck.

I use it on clean skin at night. I put a few dabs of dark spot remover on small area first, letting it dry thoroughly. I use an additioal night cream on top, again letting it dry thoroughly. I love this product; it makes my skin so smooth.

This is probably a matter of choice. I now use the serum only at night when my face is clean. Face looks and feels great. Moisturizer would not hurt; but the serum alone does pefectly for me.

Hi, I am not too sure of your skin type, but I would start with just doing a sample patch first, leaving it one the least amount of time as suggested on the box. If you don't suffer any problems, then you can work your way up to using it once a week. I would do mine at night to allow for any redness to subside by morning. Also remember to check against the other beauty products in your regime. Some of the different acids should not be mixed or they could severely irritate your skin. Please do your homework before using with retinols and other acidic products! Good luck:)

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.

I actually use this at night. I alternate with Retin A solution one night and the RevaleSkin the next night. I use an alpha hydroxy during the day.

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! :)

It might be best to use it at night. I think there are also formulas specially made for that. You could also let it set in before putting on any makeup.
