I use a low concentration of retin-A every other day - can I still use this product?

You should stop for a few days before using this product, then resume again a week to 10 days after the peel has been done. Thank you!

I use for about 1 minute. You do not need to use it every day. Only when you need it, such as before a makeup since the effect is instantaneous.

You never want to mix acids! If you want to use this product (the Vit C serum) regularly, I would use in the morning and the retinol at night, but together would not be good (irritating and/or cancel each other's effects)

Retinol products are often prescribed to clear up acne, so I doubt if you need to be concerned. This particular product is the best non prescription retinol product that I have found and is often sold in Dermatologist offices for acne/anti-aging. With that said, it is important to note that there is a short period of time (sometimes one to two months) where your skin may develop more acne while the skin adjust to the retinol. This is usually because sloughing dead skin cells can create dry skin. In response to the dryness, your skin may produce more oil and hence the potential for more acne. It is usually a temporary situation and can be remedied by keeping your skin clean and hydrated. This is a great non prescription product for acne and anti-aging. It's very important to note that you should start out slowly. Once a week may be a good starting point and then build up the frequency of usage over time. This will also help to minimize the reaction you have. Adjust the frequency based on how your skin responds. It is not surprising for people to take a full year, or longer, to tolerate daily usage.

Yes, I use a small amount daily or every other day as a moisturizer. I have a relaxed curly perm and wanted to use a light moisturizer for daily use. I have been using it for about 2 years without problems

I was told by my dermatologist that I could use with my prescription strenght retinol product. However, it would be best to consult your doctor for advice.

Absolutely! I use it with prescription Retin A. I put the Retin A on first and try to wait a good hour before putting the Niacinamide on. However, if you don't have that time I'd say just wait until it's good and absorbed. You could put the Niacinamide serum on first if you want to buffer the retinol some. This works great to calm the skin and reduce redness.

I use it one time per day, but if I'm having a flare up I'll definitely use it two times a day. I also really like the spot treatment that comes with the kit, it really really gets rid of the big zits fast.

I use it morning and evening. Yes you can use it under all eye makeup including concealer. It lasts for 2-3 months depending on how much you use. A little goes a long way. I use it only on the eyes even though it says you can use it on the entire face. Their new Super Youth moisturizer is excellent for the face and lasts longer.

If it is drying your face out too much, I would use it every other day. Use a good moisturizer every night and day to keep your skin from getting too dry. I also only use a tiny pea size dollop of this to cleanse my face to keep it from drying it out too much.

That's probably a question for the manufacturer. If you're dealing with something expensive and with a synthetic material, I wouldn't take chances. That said, I don't think you'd need to use it every day, as it's concentrated and would remain effective for some time after one application.

I do not use every day. I alternate between the DermaSilk and Roc Retinal. I still have the bottle I purchased in June. It goes on best when your skin is damp so put it on immediately after washing or splashing your face and neck. It truly works!

I would advise against using this during the day. Retinyl Palmitate and retinoic acid become carcinogenic in sunlight so like all products that contain Retinol (or Retinyl which breaks down into Retinol) you do not want to have this on your skin if you're going to be in the sun.

Yes, you can use it as a daily solution you just need to make sure you let it soak in the accompanied container with the special disk fir at least 6 hours. Without the disk the solution will not neutralize and you will be unable to wear the contacts safely.

Retinol is ment to be used as a night time product only. If you read the information dermatologist post on the web you will find they recommend you not use any Retinol products in the day time.

Hi, I am not too sure of your skin type, but I would start with just doing a sample patch first, leaving it one the least amount of time as suggested on the box. If you don't suffer any problems, then you can work your way up to using it once a week. I would do mine at night to allow for any redness to subside by morning. Also remember to check against the other beauty products in your regime. Some of the different acids should not be mixed or they could severely irritate your skin. Please do your homework before using with retinols and other acidic products! Good luck:)

It absolutely should be used daily! Once you start using it you will be able to feel the effects if you miss a day. Good luck.
