Hi, I use Augustinus Bader The Cream and serum. Can I use this serum under the cream at night? Also, what strength should I start with? I have used retinol before but not Medik 8.
Thanks!

Hi Bettina Katalin😊
Thank you for your question✨
Since Augustinus Bader The Cream contains retinyl palmitate, which is also a vitamin A, I do not recommend using these at the same time. One vitamin A product at a time is sufficient, otherwise there is a risk of irritation and sensitivity in the skin.
If you still want to use Medik8, I suggest using it on the evenings you do not use your Augustinus Bader The Cream. If you have used retinol before, I recommend starting with the lowest strength for Medik8 as it is powerful, i.e. 3, and start gently: 2 evenings/week, then gradually increase. Also, don’t forget sunscreen during the day. Always listen to your skin: if you see signs of irritation, redness, flaking → reduce the frequency.
Hope the answer can be helpful and that you have a lovely day🌞
