I use it on clean skin at night. I put a few dabs of dark spot remover on small area first, letting it dry thoroughly. I use an additioal night cream on top, again letting it dry thoroughly. I love this product; it makes my skin so smooth.

I use it under your spf day/night cream, try not to use it with AHA's. I would alternate the days you use both.

I do the same, as I only use it at night and wash my face every morning. I've heard of people who use it twice a day, but I find it too thick to wera under make-up.

I use this product at night usually every other night. The night I don't use it I use Cerave PM moisturizer. It does make my skin smooth and soft.

I use Retinol at night and use SkinCuticals A.G.E. Interrupter as day cream under my make-up

I believe if you wanted to use it by day you must use a SPF 15+, also some skin doesn't tolerate that much retinol which is what this is you might want to try using it at night only first, some even alternate every other night

You can BUT I wouldn't recommend it. Since it is a resurfacing elixir with glycolic acid, using overnight brings the most benefit. In morning, i simply rinse my face, blot dry and apply the Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting serum - some days I'll use additional creams, other days it's not even remotely needed. Using both these products (am & pm ), has shown the most visible results in a short period of time.

I don't know if you will be able to see this youtube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFEECThgI5s, according to LaRochePosay specialist you can use the retinol and vitamin C together. I do this at night also, start out with a small amount, on a test area to make sure you don't have a reaction. Then you should start with a small mix all over your face, Increasing as your face gets used to it.

I put it on morning and night after cleansing but before moisturizer. Always use sunscreen.

I use it alone; but you can use it under a moisturizer. It's a great product; at a great price on Amazon.Dee

As this is a Vitamin C serum, thereby an anti-aging treatment, I would recommend using it twice a day. I use it both in the morning and at night, just after my toner but before my final facial cream.

Yes, I do use it every night before I spread my night face cream. Cortas Rose Water is an excellent product!

Miracle Worker nighttime pads have retinoids in it, and when I checked Hope in a Jar on Philosophy's website it also has a retinoid, so I wouldn't use them at the same time. I use Miracle Worker moisturizer in the daytime with the vitamin C powder, and then at night I use the Miracle Worker pads and Full of Promise. Perhaps you could double check with Philosophy directly to find out for certain. Good luck!

I use it on my face at night only without a separate moisturizer. I don't need another moisturizer with this. It moisturizes mine enough. If I start having aging concerns on my neck and chest, I'll start using it there too.

Hello Philip, It is optional whether you use a night cream after you have applied our Serum. It really depends on your skin condition - how oily or dry it is. You may find that you are perfectly okay to use it by itself.

It depends on how sensitive your skin is. Start off at once or twice a week and then work up to every other day. It's important to use a VERY GENTLE circular motion. Too much pressure and you'll abrade the skin. Use in the evenings before bed for best results and follow with a good moisturizer that contains retinol. Your skin regenerates and heals as you sleep.

Use only in the morning as your moisturizer. The daylight activates it. Use something else at night, according to my dermatologist.

Yes, in my experience you can use both, although I would alter it per day/night. Putting both on your face at the same time is a bit of a waist. Might you want to use them both together, I wonder if the Vit.C than will contradict with the niacinamide, not sure about that.
