A: Hello Ms1124! It's great you're considering our Skin Renewing Retinol Face Serum! When pairing it with a salicylic acid cleanser, we advise caution as both are active ingredients that can increase sensitivity. Consider using them at different times of the day or on alternate evenings to prevent irritation. As for alternating our Skin Renewing Retinol Face Serum with another retinol serum, introducing multiple retinols simultaneously can be quite potent for your skin. We recommend allowing your skin to fully adapt to one retinol product before introducing another, ensuring the best results without over-stimulating your complexion. Always observe how your skin responds.

A: Hello Nathan! Thank you for reaching out to us again about the Skin Renewing Retinol Face Serum. We understand your question about cleansing your face after using the serum overnight. Our Skin Renewing Retinol Face Serum is specifically designed to be a leave-on treatment, allowing its beneficial ingredients to work continuously on your skin throughout the night to help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin texture. While there isn't a need to wash the serum off specifically for its removal, it is always a good practice to incorporate your usual cleansing routine in the morning to refresh your skin and prepare it for the day ahead, followed by your daytime skincare, including a broad-spectrum sunscreen. This ensures your skin is clean and ready for optimal absorption of your morning products.

A: Hey Nathan, Great question! Yes, we recommend to wash your face in the morning and apply your AM skincare routine. Don't forget to apply your favorite sunscreen!

A: No, it seems no one from CeraVe can give an answer about the amount of actual retinol in any of their products, only saying "proprietary"... Which usually means like 1% or less.
