Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I wait between applying products?
Most products absorb within 1–2 minutes. For active ingredients like retinol or acids, wait 5–10 minutes before layering the next product. Sunscreen should always be the last step in your AM routine.
Can I use vitamin C and retinol together?
Yes, but ideally at different times of day. Use vitamin C in the morning (it boosts sunscreen efficacy) and retinol at night. If you must use both together, buffer with moisturizer and start slowly.
Do I really need a separate AM and PM routine?
Yes. Your AM routine focuses on protection (antioxidants + sunscreen), while your PM routine focuses on repair and regeneration (retinoids, peptides, richer moisturizers). Your skin's needs differ between day and night.
