Can I use Glycolic acid with retinol A in The PM and sunscreen with A vitamin c + hylarounic acid serían in The AM?
Answer: Glycolic acid in skin care regimen with SPF Your regimen sounds great as you are covering all the corrective and preventative skin care bases with antioxidants, AHA and hyaluronic acid. What you are missing is the 'protection' step of mineral based, broad spectrum sunblock. We recommend our patients use Elizabeth Arden PRO Triple Protection Broad Spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen lotion. EA Pro TP SPF 50 is a tinted, mineral based, broad spectrum moisturizer with DNA Enzyme Complex + Antioxidants built in to it. It would be perfect as a morning step to protect your investment in your skin care regimen and add the benefit of DNA enzymes.At our practice, I recommend a complimentary consultation with our medical aesthetician who explains details and product knowledge to our patients and builds a treatment plan for procedures to support their home care. Good luck.

Answer: Skincare routine: You have the order correct, but we would add a broad-spectrum SPF in the daytime. Vitamin C should be applied in the morning as it helps to deliver advanced environmental protection by neutralizing damaging free radicals. Formulated with a synergistic antioxidant combination of 15% pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), 1% vitamin E (alpha tocopherol), and 0.5% ferulic acid, we recommend SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic. This vitamin C serum improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, loss of firmness, and brightens skin’s complexion. Combine with hyaluronic acid after applying vitamin C. If you are looking for a product recommendation, we recommend SkinCeuticals H.A. Intensifier. This serum amplifies the skin’s hyaluronic acid levels by 30% and improves the appearance of firmness and facial plumpness. Follow with a broad spectrum sunscreen that combines 100% mineral filters, zinc oxide and titanium oxide, like our SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion to complete your morning skincare routine.We recommend any exfoliating product, such as Glycolic or Lactic acid, to be used on alternate nights when retinol is being applied. When using retinol, we suggest looking into SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 to pair with your Retin-A treatment. Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 is the first anti-aging cream to directly address age-related lipid loss with a 2:4:2 cholesterol-dominant ratio. This formulation contains an ideal ratio of pure lipids easily utilized by skin. Retinoids are known as one of the best anti-aging skin care treatments, but the adjustment period can cause redness, peeling, and flaky skin. Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 is now shown to shorten the adjustment period to retinoids up to 1 week while reducing dryness. In addition, in an effort to minimize the adverse effects related to retinol usage, it is generally recommended that a retinoid treatment regimen begin with application on alternate nights for the first 2 weeks of use, at minimum, or until tolerable. Hope this is helpful.
