Happy to help. Retinoids are known as one of the best anti-aging skin care treatments, but the adjustment period can cause redness, peeling, and flaky skin. 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. To complement your retinol application, we suggest looking into SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2. 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 and is clinically shown to shorten the adjustment period to retinoids up to 1 week while reducing dryness.Once you are comfortable, we would recommend the usage of vitamin C and hyaluronic acid to be applied in the morning. After cleansing, apply a few drops of the vitamin C serum onto skin. If you are looking for a product recommendation, SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic combines a synergistic combination of 15% pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), 1% pure vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol), and 0.5% ferulic acid.
