I'm gonna order the CP serum from Skin Bio.
Currently i'm using Retin-A 0.01% gel at night (about to go up to 0.025) and drops of my SkinCeuticals C,E & Ferulic acid serum in the morning followed by Devita spf 30.
I'm looking to use CP serum in the morning instead of the C,E&FA, and then applying 100% pure argan oil followed by my spf. Would there be any interference in that at all?
& does anyone know if there's ingredients that shouldn't be applied prior or after retin-a application? What about if i switch to using the c,e and fa until after retin-a? Or i could use the argan oil at night instead after the skinceutical serum, or maybe even drop the serum completely?
I also wanted to incorporate Skinbio's LacSal serum too at night but there's so many things i don't know where to put it!!
Aaargh, decisions decisions, please help me out and give me some direction!  |

| From what I understand you can use CP's over your RA, and separate any C from CP's by 12 hours. |

Darkmoon is right on!
Continue to use your C serum in the am, then sunscreen. If you want to incorporate argan oil I would do it after C serum (waiting 15 minutes or so for it to do it's magic).
In the evening, use LacSal. Wait about 15 minutes then apply CPs then RA.
I would not drop your C serum.
Hope that helps! |

Thank you to both of you! Erg that makes everything so much simpler for me, lol, but definitely the CP serum before the retin-A?
Is there any point i could incorporate a moisturiser in there too somewhere, or would you say there's no point? I really want to try Mad Hippie's Face Cream, the ingredients look amazing. |

Yes, CP serum before RA. You could apply a moisturizer after RA... not sure if that is too many steps for you at night: Lac Sal, C, RA, Moisturizer.
Why are you using Argan oil? If you apply argan oil in the morning mixed with aloe or water it will act as a moisturizer. |

A family member recommended Argan oil, she said it revitalises the dermal layers of your skin and that it's helped with her wrinkles and her hair has got a lot thicker whilst using it.
Could my C serum be applied at the same time as LacSal serum in the morning? Only because i read it's better to use CP and LacSal at opposite ends of the day.
I could do C and Lacsal, with argan oil and spf in the AM. Then CP and Retin-A in the PM maybe followed by moisturiser after half hour. |

I must have gotten that backwards, I think foxe told me I could use the CP's after RA if it caused irritation, the RA that is. I would not swear to that as it was around a year ago!  |

| I'm kinda wondering why you need LacSal? Both your C serum and will Retin A act as exfoliants. |

Okay thanks,  I will ditch the LacSal idea. Should there be an amount of time left between CP and RA? |

I am not sure about that, sorry!
I know that exact question was addressed on the Skin Biology forum. have you searched there? |
