It just occurred to me that I may be using my products in the wrong order. Does anyone know if you're suppose to put the retin a on before or after your serums & moisturizer? The serums seem to absorb more quickly b/c of their thinner consistency, so I figured that I should put them on first. But, I wonder if what you put on your skin first is absorbed the most? If that's the case, maybe I should be putting my retin a on first? Or if certain products would block the absorption of subsequent products?
Also, I just ordered the ISC line: active, super serum, hydra cool, and firming complex. If anyone has experience with ISC & has any suggestions as to where in the routine I should place the retin a, that would be very helpful. Also, your own ISC regime would help. I've read to use Active first, before the others? TIA |

There are many, many pages of information on the order of application of skin actives and even more on IS Clinical products. |

| oh oh I just got busted by Katee. Yeah. . . I've read about the order of application for the ISC, just thought I'd add that in as an extra in case there were those using ISC along w/retin a. I didn't find a thread regarding where to place the retin a. If you've go a link please share. Thanks! |

| Ha ha.. . I already imagine you wearing one of those old school cop hats & blowing a whistle. I've gathered from my reading that the retin a & other products should definitely be used after the active serum since the active exfoliates & makes for better absorption of subsequent products. Katee, I know you do the active & then firming, so I'll assume that I should put the retin a right before the firming complex in the pm? |
