Are you using SkinCeuticals' Retinol? If you are, it is recommended that you use it alone and without any other serums or moisturisers.
You can use the B5 Hydrating Gel over the Vit C serum in the morning, before your sunscreen. |

i actually use a prescription retinol (only once in a while) that is only .025%...and i still find it strong.
i planning on using the vivier c. should i only use it once a day? |

| vitamin c should be used once per day, the mornings work best. I generally don't moisturize when I use a retinol product. If you were to I'd suggest moisturizing an hour or so before putting the retinol on. |

| Also, if you're going to use the Vivier serum then you might find that you don't need the B5 over the top (it's got a different texture to the SC serums). |

| You don't think the silicone in the Vivier is going to make me break out, do you? |

Is there silicone in them? I can't find an ingredient listing anywhere but I didn't think that was one of them. I am not sure if it will make you break out or not. I have had problems with products with silicone before (ones with a high silicone content) but have not had any problems with the Vivier serum. |

I read on another thread that the Vivier C serum was stable for longer because it was a silicone base...that person was complaining that the silicone in the vivier made her break out.
I just ordered my vivier on EDS yesterday. Hopefully it doesn't make me break out or I will be giving away the bottle  |
