Can I Use Serums Before I Apply Retin-A ?

All my patients use vitamin A at night with growth factors and other serums.  There is no reason you cannot do so.  Best, Dr. Emer.

It is suggested to apply Retin-A to clean, dry skin. Allow product to absorb before applying other skincare products. Please note that when using Retin-A, in order to minimize the adverse effects related to retinol usage, it is recommended to begin application on alternate nights for the first 2 weeks of use, at minimum, or until deemed tolerable. An effective antioxidant that we would suggest after Retin-A at night is SkinCeuticals Resveratrol BE. This nighttime serum helps to deliver advanced environmental protection caused by free radicals which can contribute to cellular damage, leading to the typical physical signs of aging. We hope this proves helpful.
