- Q
can i use the super a, vitamin c and the corrective peptide serum in conjunction?
- Asked by naya
- Official Answer By Mad HippieThe actives in these formulas can surely coexist in your skincare routines! For best results, we recommend using our Vitamin C Serum & Corrective Peptide Serum in your morning routine and saving retinol-based products such as the Super A Serum for nighttime. This allows each formula to work optimally without the potential risk of irritation.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Is this serum OK for first time retinoid users?
- Asked by Ellie
- Official Answer By Mad HippieYes, our Super A Serum is designed to be gentle and effective for first time retinoid users. For those new to vitamin A, we recommend starting with application every other night until your skin adjusts. As your skin acclimates, gradually increase to nightly use. If you have highly sensitive or reactive skin, it is best to patch-test.Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
Is this a better choice than the vitamin c serum for wrinkles and dark spots on the face? Is it best to stick with one or the other? Or would you recommend this at night and vitamin c serum in the morning?
- Asked by Day
- Official Answer By Mad HippieAbsolutely! Our Super A Serum is designed specifically to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, diminish the appearance of age spots and skin discoloration, and improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin. It is expertly formulated for nightly use, as retinoids can make the skin more sensitive to sun exposure. With that, we recommend applying our Super A Serum each night, and sunscreen each morning to keep your skin protected and radiant. Our Vitamin C Serum layers beautifully under sunscreen for a morning routine.Was this answer helpful to you

So impressed - comparable to $$$ brands
This stuff is so flippin' impressive! I decided to try it during a bogo 50% deal. I have used the Vitamin C serum and decided to try this retinol serum when restocking (retinol is otherwise known as Vitamin A).

Eh
I wanted to love this product based on the reviews. I tried it for two months off and on and decided to return it. The serum leaves a slightly sticky residue and made no visible improvement to the discoloration of my skin. It's not drying, and made my skin look rosy, but I don't think it "dramatical...

Tolerating This!
Reviewed at
For reference I am a 54 ears old and had laser resurfacing in April. I was looking for something to enhance the results I got with that procedure. I was nervous about trying this retinol as I have been sensitive in the past to other brands which have left me red, itchy, and swollen. I have been using this nightly for about two weeks with a moisturizer. My skin is already visibly brighter, smoother, and my under eye puffiness is much less!! I am tolerating this without the side effects, making me think that this brand is cleaner and free of chemicals and was not the retinol? I am amazed.
AMAZING!!
I have been using Mad Hippie products (I have most of their product line and use them religiously) for a few years now and my skin looks more healthy and beautiful at 44 years old than it did in my 20's and 30's!! My 14 year old son has been suffering with acne for about a year now he was completely covered in acne on his forehead and sides of if his face for the last couple of months. I don't break out anymore so I didnt think about using my products on his face but I had ordered a line that claimed it would clear him up but all he got was an allergic reaction to it (2 weeks ago) and his face looked the worse it ever has so I started reading reviews on the Vitamin A and seen it was clearing acne. I started using my Vitamin A on him at night and my Vitamin C serum on him in the morning on 12/20/23 and holy cow it's unbelievable how much it has cleared his face in a week nore than half of his acne is gone and I can literally see new gorgeous skin where it has cleared up! I knew these products were the best out there in my opinion but I am seriously blown away with the results on my sons skin! Our next step was going to the dermatologist and we are both happy that it is clearing up and won't have to. I recommend all of Mad Hippie products to everyone. I haven't worn foundation in a couple of years since I found Mad Hippie, I just use Tartes BB cream and my skin is flawless!!
