| applied first before anything else such as eye cream, serum, or moisturizer? I heard that since chemical sunscreens absorb the UV rays, then it's better to apply it on bare skin. If not, the moisturizer that we applied beforehand might interfere with the absorption of the UV rays. Is this true? Pls help! |

| It should be applied beforehand I believe, so it can bind with the skin. |

I`m also confused with that! 
if chemical sunscreens should be put on bare skin, then it excludes using any other stuff like vit.C, serums & moiturizers, as I cannot imagine putting anything on top of a sunscreen. 
soo - if that is the case, should we better stay with physical sunscreens???? |

Aiva, I'm with u on that one! I recently purchased Vichy SPF 30 with Mexoryl XL. It's chemical. I applied it to bare skin and it's not too greasy. I actually find it a bit drying a few hrs later so I put moisturizer on top and I wonder if it's going to affect anything? I assume it's ok if I wait 15-20 mins after my ss application?? |

I use the Avene with tinosorb, and here is what my practice is: Vitamin C first, then about forty five minutes later, peptide serum, then moisturizer, then sunscreen. (And then whatever makeup that I plan to wear.) I've always heard that you should apply skincare from thin to thick, with Vitamin C always first and sunscreen last, then makeup. All I can say is that I am pretty pale but haven't gotten burned using that regimen.
Is there any study out there that contradicts that practice? I'd really like to know, since I wouldn't want expensive sunscreen to be wasted. |

| You don't have to wait 45 minutes. I do only because I put it on first thing on waking (it's on my bedside table) and then fix breakfast, tidy up after breakfast, make the bed, etc. I think it is recommended for best results to give it 10 to 15 minutes before adding other products, though. |

I apply my vitamin c products first, than sunscreen. I don't wait 45 minutes, but I do make sure that my other face products are absorbed. |

I thought that vitamin C and copper peptides shouldn't be used together? They are supposed to cancel each other's effect out. Usually people are recommended to use the vit. C in the morning and copper peptide in the evening. |

you are right.
But I assume Flicraft meant another peptide, non-copper? there are other peptides than copper ones |

| Yes, more like a Matrixyl type multi-peptide serum. Never used copper peptides, but according to those that do, they are incompatible with Vitamin C. |
