hello, everyone! I am new here and I don't know if this topic had been discussed before. But I'm just so confused about this question that I can't choose products to use.
So, if retinol and Vit. C can be used together, or retinol at night and Vit. C at daytime?

Yes they can be used together, but its often best to space apart their usage because if you react to one, you know which one it is. Retinol and Vit C depending on their strengths do deliver good results!

Retinol makes your skin more sensitive to the sun though, so you have to make sure to wear sunscreen. That's why some people recommend to use it at night and wear vitamin C during the day since it doesn't fragilize your skin when exposed to the sun.

Just use the Retin-A at night and the Vitamin C in the morning - never together. Also, the addition of a glycolic lotion and sunscreen to your morning regimen would further add to your skin rejuvenation.
