I don’t think you’re supposed to mix retinol and vitamin c serums, it might dry your skin out. For the day I would do vitamin c then moisturizer. For night, retinol then moisturizer

like

Definitely don’t mix Vitamin C and retinol! Vitamin C should go in the AM and retinol in the PM, before moisturizer. And since both Vit C and retinol make you more sensitive to sunlight, sunscreen is a must.

Thanks guys! 🙏

I do vitamin C in the morning after washing my face and before moisturizer. I let vitamin c serum dry for about 10 minutes before adding daytime moisturizer (ideally with SPF).

I use retinol in the evening (3 times a week) after washing my face and before night cream/ moisturizer. 3x is enough for me. I don’t recommend starting with retinol every night. Start at 3x and go to every other night if needed. Most people don’t need every night. The nights I don’t do retinol, I do a light vitamin a serum.

I love Mad Hippie for vitamin serums and moisturizers.

I’d love recommendations on a good SPF.

Not sure about vitamin C but retinol goes before moisturizer. However! If retinol irritates your skin at first, people say to use it after moisturizer. It’s not quite as effective that way but the barrier protects your skin.

Please make sure you are using spf50 if you are using retinol and/or vitamin c

You CAN be that leader that people want to work with. 1st, self assessment is required. Be honest: As a leader,have you engaged in/accepted Attribution Bias with a dash of gender &/or race bias? (See the pic) This is something we all need to be aware of as we lead our teams, provide performance feedback, & model the behaviors we'd like to see more of on our teams. Be on the lookout for Attribution Bias in yourself & on your team. It's a hindrance to creating a high-performing, inclusive culture.
