– How to apply them?
Some rules:
• – no more than 3 serums at a time (it can be 3 different ones in the morning and in the evening).
• – we first apply the water-based textures (lotion, non-oily serums) and then the more “oily” textures on top (oily serum, oils, creams).
• – we avoid applying the Niacinamide product at the same time as a Vitamin C product otherwise their effects cancel each other out (you can definitely use one in the morning and the other in the evening, just not in the same routine).
• – if you have sensitive skin, it is not necessarily recommended to use Acids and Retinol at the same time (but you can alternate every other evening without worry). In absolute terms, it is possible to use these 2 ingredients one on top of the other because they do not act in the same place (the acids exfoliate the surface of the skin and the retinol accelerates the renewal of skin cells by depth, without exfoliating) but both still put a lot of strain on the skin at once, and that may be too much for thin and/or sensitive skin.
• – remember to apply a high sun protection factor during the day with all treatments
