    Combine with retinal

    Can this be used together with The Ordinary's 0.2% retinal (not in the same routine)?

      Heihei Marianne 👋 These products should be used with caution and not on the same evening. Here’s how you can safely use them together in a routine – but spread over different days ⬇️ Important tips: ❌ Do not use AHA/BHA and retinal on the same day – it increases the risk of irritation and sensitivity. 🧴 Moisture is key: Use a good moisturizer after both active products to support the skin barrier. 🌞 Sun protection is a must: Both AHA/BHA and retinal make the skin more sun-sensitive. Use SPF 30+ every day, even when it’s cloudy. 🧪 Start slow: If you’re new to retinal, use it only 1-2 times a week at first, and gradually increase. 💧 After AHA or Retinal: Finish with soothing and moisturizing products like: The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalane lyko.com/no/the-ordinary/the-ordinary-natural-moisturizing-factors---ha---100ml lyko.com/no/the-ordinary/the-ordinary-100-plant-derived-squalane Wishing you a nice day ahead 🥰
