When using retinoids—from prescription-level to systemic forms—your skincare routine should focus on restoring balance and providing daily protection. Follow these guidelines to minimize irritation and achieve a healthy, radiant complexion.
1️⃣ Ceramides + Sunscreen Every Day
The foundation of your routine is simple: ceramides and YOUR PERFECT SUNSCREEN daily. Ceramides help maintain a strong skin barrier, while sunscreen protects against UV damage—both are non-negotiable when using retinoids.
2️⃣ What to Avoid
Skip strong acids like glycolic and salicylic if you’re on prescription retinoids or systemic treatments. Also, don’t add extra retinol products to your routine, as this may increase irritation. Tranexamic acid is acceptable—it’s not an exfoliant.
3️⃣ Adjusting Your Actives
Vitamin C can stay, but apply it in the morning and retinoids at night. If your skin is highly sensitive or battling pigmentation, consider using RADIANCE EXTRA-FIRMING SERUM instead of Vitamin C.
4️⃣ Gentle Cleansing Is Key
Your cleanser should leave no tightness. Our soon-to-be-released PURE GENTLE CLEANSING FOAM offers a gentle, soothing cleanse without stripping your skin.
5️⃣ Embrace Ceramides
Use ceramide-rich toners, serums, and creams to reinforce your skin’s barrier. The more ceramides, the better your skin can handle retinoids.
