How to Use Retinol and Vitamin C Together --- If you’re using both retinol and vitamin C in your routine, it’s best to apply the vitamin C in the morning and retinol at night. This is because vitamin C is best applied during the day to protect the skin from external toxins, while retinol is best applied at night when the skin is in repair mode. Start with a low concentration of both retinol and vitamin C and gradually work your way up to higher concentrations as your skin becomes more accustomed to the ingredients. Always wear sunscreen during the day when using vitamin C, as it can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun. It can take several weeks or even months to see the full benefits of using retinol and vitamin C together. If you have sensitive skin or are unable to use retinol or vitamin C, there are plenty of other skincare ingredients that can provide similar benefits: Niacinamide can help to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while also brightening the skin and reducing the appearance of pores. AHAs (Alpha hydroxy acids) like glycolic acid and lactic acid can help to exfoliate the skin, and improve texture. And reduce hyperpigmentation.

Excellent advise … I would also add regards retinol many people could have adverse reaction , redness with retinol but it will get better with time and as you advise start little to increase amount . I would also recommend patch test with retinol and watch out for amount and purity of retinol inside products . I noticed collagen can be highly beneficial to people with allergy on retinol and highly recommend this with Algae .
