La Roche Posay Retinol Face Serum with Vitamin B3 - 1.0 fl oz: Hypoallergenic, For Sensitive and Mature Skin

A: Hey Trennille, Great question! We recommend slowly introducing Retinol into your skincare routine 1-2x a week, at nights. Don't forget to wear your favorite SPF daily!

A: Hello there Trennille! Thanks for reaching out to us. We're happy to hear you're enjoying our Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid serums. Retinol is a powerful ingredient, and our Retinol B3 Serum is formulated to be gentle yet effective, even for sensitive skin. Because retinol can increase skin sensitivity to the sun, we generally recommend using it only at night. Since you're already using a serum in the morning and evening, you could alternate your nighttime routine – using the Retinol B3 Serum one night and your Hyaluronic Acid Serum the next. However, given that you are already using multiple active ingredients in your routine, including vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, it would be best to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice on incorporating retinol into your specific skincare regimen. They can assess your skin's needs and recommend the most suitable approach to avoid potential irritation or interactions. We hope this helps!

A: Hello Candy26. Great question! We do not recommend applying La Roche Posay Retinol Face Serum with Vitamin B3 - 1.0 fl oz under the eye area, as the skin under the eyes tends to be thinner and more prone to sensitivity. As an alternative option we suggest you try our Redermic R Retinol Eye Cream. This anti-aging pure retinol eye cream helps visibly reduce the look of crow's feet wrinkles and dark circles. This unique formula provides an instant visible lifting effect and is gentle enough for the sensitive eye area. We hope you will give it a try soon!
