• Hydration is Key: Use a rich moisturizer after applying retinol to lock in moisture and support the skin barrier. Consider products like SkinCeuticals Hydra-Fix.
• Consistency Matters: For optimal results, use the night cream consistently as part of your nightly skincare routine. Gradual, regular use helps your skin build tolerance and achieve desired outcomes.
• Sun Protection: Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen in the morning to protect your skin from UV damage, especially important in sunny South Africa. SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50 is an excellent choice.
• Monitor Your Skin’s Response: Pay attention to how your skin reacts. If irritation occurs, reduce usage frequency and consult a dermatologist if necessary.

  Fact: Increasing the concentration or frequency without professional guidance can lead to irritation. It’s best to follow the recommended usage to achieve optimal results safely.
