How do I incorporate Clinique fresh pressed daily booster vitamin C into my routine?

Question

Am currently using Skinceuticals blemish + Age defence wash, Skinceuticals blemish +Age Defense,Skinceuticals hydrating B5 gel, Skinceuticals Retinol 0.5 and skinceuiticals physical fusion UV Defense. I recently purchased the Clinique fresh pressed daily booster vitamin C and am confused as to how to incorporate it into my routine?

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to go over skin care and an anti-aging regimen. Topical products are only one part of the process to prevent aging. You need a combination of skin care, lasers, needling/PRP, fillers and skin tightening to address all of the concerns people have as they age. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. A basic skincare routine that everybody should follow includes a good cleanser, a moisturizer, an antioxidant, and sunscreen. The order of products goes by viscosity. Thinner products like serums should go on first followed by thicker products like creams. For my patients, I recommend in the morning using our ultra hydration hyaluronic acid, followed by our vitamin C collagen stimulating serum, and finished with our sheer defense sunscreen. Depending on the skin type and skin condition, there may be additional products I would recommend for further anti-aging benefits such as our regen repair retinol or neck and decolletage firming cream, for example. You should consult with a provider in your area so that they can assess your skin and determine what the best products would be for you. I hope this helps. Best of luck to you!

Vitamin C is best used in the morning. You want to apply your products in the thinnest to thickest in consistency. I would advise you to wash your face, apply the vitamin C serum and then the b5 gel, and UV defense.At night, I would suggest washing your face and applying the retinol. You can wait 20 min and apply a moisturizer, if needed. If your skin becomes dry and flaky, don't use the retinol every night and alternate with an anti aging night cream.

I am impressed with your routine!  I wish more patients would take such good care of their skin--you are going to thank your future self.  Skinceuticals is a great line by the way.
I would put on the Vit C in the am, right under, or before, you put on your spf.  It will help the spf do its job and serves as an oxygen free radical scavenger, protecting your skin from the pollution it comes into contact with during the day.  Good work!
Best of luck to you,
Dr. Amy
