Multi peptide vs. vit C

How to apply and conciliate different serums or ingredients such as retinoids, multipeptides and vitamin C serums, in a weekly skin routine.

Are there incompatible substances or some combinations are not advisable?

Thank you

Use every day, as many times as needed. For most people, it's best to use a moisturizer twice per day. In the morning, apply it before your sunscreen (or skip the moisturizer in the morning if your sunscreen feels hydrating enough). In the evening, a moisturizer is usually the last step of a routine.

Use every day before going outside, even if it is not sunny. Sunscreen is the last step of your morning skincare routine. You can apply makeup on top of it.

You can use this product either in the morning or at night, before your moisturizer or sunscreen. You can use it daily, but, in case you notice signs of irritation, reducing the application to every other night might help.

Use a generous amount of product to remove all dirt, sunscreen or makeup in one step. There is no need to double-cleanse. It is a good idea to always finish cleansing with a splash of clean water to remove any residue from the cleanser. Most people only need to cleanse their skin with a cleanser once per day, at night. It is the first step of a night skincare routine.

Power Lift Wrinkle Zero Night Renewal Booster Cream mirenesse - Power Lift Wrinkle Zero Night Renewal Booster Cream
Start slowly with this product: it can be irritating, but your skin can adjust to it with time. It is best to start using this product only a few times a week or every other day for the first few weeks. Mild dryness is normal when starting using a retinoid. Once your skin is able to tolerate the product well, you can slowly increase the frequency of use to every day. Make sure to apply a moisturizer regularly when using this product. Apply this product on clean skin, before a moisturizer. Most people prefer using this product at night, but it can be used in the morning as well (once per day in total).
PM - Once a week

Hello!

Looks like you're good with the morning routine, I'd only add that I'd put the vitamin C on before the moisturizer and sunscreen. Serums are generally good to put on before moisturizers because they'll soak into your skin better and moisturizers usually have occlusive ingredients that act like a barrier to keep the yummy good stuff we spend our hard earned coin on in the skin.

For the nighttime routine, I'd say the same for the booster cream, apply before the moisturizer.

Looking over the ingredients in the jericho rose toner..I find the product a little confusing overall as it has a loooot of actives, but they're a little lower in concentration so maybe it's formulated well enough to not cause too much irritation. I would say maybe to avoid the olay moisturizer on the nights you use the jericho rose toner due to the high concentration of niacinamide in the moisturizer possibly causing irritation in conjunction with the PHA in the toner which also already has niacinamide in it. A more basic moisturizer with fewer actives you could try on the nights you use the jericho toner is the vanicream daily facial moisturizer. Which also is jam packed with ceramides.

Hope this helps! :)
