Retin A is safe for all skin types, but you are correct, you need to use a good sunscreen daily. Using a zinc and titanium sunscreen is the safest. Avoid prolonged time in the sun, wear sunscreen, hats, ect and you will be fine. Best of luck!
Not to worry, you cannot do damage to your skin by applying these products together. Vitamin C is best used in the morning. It is a fantastic antioxidant that can further protect your skin from the sun. Retinol is best used at night, as it breaks down in light and it causes your skin to be more...
Yes, artificial light does breakdown Retin-A. I would suggest putting it on just before going to bed. If the TV is across the room, I wouldn't worry too much about it breaking the Retin-A down, but if you're using a device (phone, computer, tablet) in close proximity to your face, I would wait...
