La Roche Posay Retinol Face Serum with Vitamin B3 - 1.0 fl oz

A: Hello there Trennille! Thanks for reaching out to us. We're happy to hear you're enjoying our Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid serums. Retinol is a powerful ingredient, and our Retinol B3 Serum is formulated to be gentle yet effective, even for sensitive skin. Because retinol can increase skin sensitivity to the sun, we generally recommend using it only at night. Since you're already using a serum in the morning and evening, you could alternate your nighttime routine – using the Retinol B3 Serum one night and your Hyaluronic Acid Serum the next. However, given that you are already using multiple active ingredients in your routine, including vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, it would be best to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice on incorporating retinol into your specific skincare regimen. They can assess your skin's needs and recommend the most suitable approach to avoid potential irritation or interactions. We hope this helps!

A: Hey Trennille, Great question! We recommend slowly introducing Retinol into your skincare routine 1-2x a week, at nights. Don't forget to wear your favorite SPF daily!

A: Hello Breecrowther! Thanks for your question about incorporating our Retinol B3 Serum with the Effaclar line. Generally, our Retinol B3 Serum can be used alongside Effaclar products, but it's important to introduce them gradually and pay attention to your skin's reaction. Start by using the Retinol B3 Serum a few times a week and gradually increase the frequency as tolerated. It's also important to use sunscreen daily, especially when using retinol products. If you experience any dryness or irritation, reduce the frequency of use or consult a dermatologist.
