Yes, you can use Vitamin C and Retinol in the same skincare routine, as long as they’re used in the right order. Vitamin C has powerful antioxidant properties and is best used to defend skin in the daytime. Using retinol at night is key to accessing its benefits and improving cell turnover. Retinol can make skin more sensitive to sun exposure so always apply SPF as the final step in your skincare routine.
Both are excellent at helping skin to look smoother and younger. Vitamin C can help improve collagen production and make skin tone look more even, while a retinol serum helps skin to efficiently renew dead skin cells leading to brighter skin and diminished fine lines. We recommend applying our vitamin C infused serum - Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate every morning after cleansing. In the evening, after cleansing apply Retinol Skin-Renewing Daily Micro-Dose Serum.
We recommend applying your vitamin C product, such as Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate in the morning after cleansing, and your retinol (Retinol Skin-Renewing Daily Micro-Dose Serum or Retinol Fast Release Wrinkle-Reducing Night Serum) in the evening. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant which helps to protect skin against environmental aggressors, so it’s a good choice for daytime. Retinol will help to supercharge your skin’s night-time repair, so you wake up glowing.
We recommend using a radiance-boosting Vitamin C product such as Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate in the morning to help brighten your skin for the day ahead and protect skin against pollution and other daily environmental stressors. As Retinol boosts cell turnover and new cells are more delicate, it can cause photosensitivity. Massaging it in at night is the best option, it also helps to boost your night time skin repair. Try a retinol product from our award-winning range like our Retinol Skin-Renewing Daily Micro-Dose Serum or Retinol Fast Release Wrinkle-Reducing Night Serum.
Our Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate contains 12.5% vitamin C and is suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin. When it comes to retinol, our Retinol Skin-Renewing Daily Micro-Dose Serum is specially formulated to achieve visible results with a minimised likelihood of discomforting side effects including redness, dryness and peeling. It's ideally formulated for sensitive skin and is a good choice for retinol beginners or those who have previously found other retinol formulas unsuitable.
