| SKII Facial treatment essence. I read somewhere that this should not be used with retinol and i know that step 2 of the Dr. dennis gross peel pads do contain retinol. |

SKII is a ferment high in kojic acid which is a strong topical. Since retinol does not naturally occur in that ferment cocktail I would be hesitant to put it in there myself. Any number of interesting and potentially unwanted side effects could result.
As an experiment I made an aspergillus ferment (which is the 1st stage of production of SKII). it was an acidic mixture that overly stimulated my skin. I didnt like this as a topical so I ceased usimg it. Unless you are chemist you d not know whst effect such a substamc emight have om retinol. It could oxidise it and cause free radical damage to your skin. If youve read somewhere its notna good idea, I would go with that advice. |

| i wouldn't quite recommend it as both the retinol and Pitera in the SK-II promotes skin cell turnover... seems like overloading the skin in my opinion. |
