- Q
Do I need to use a separate retinol serum with this product?
- Asked by B
- Official Answer By StriVectin - SamplingIf you're aiming to achieve a specific level of retinol, you're welcome to use additional retinol products alongside this one. However, we recommend patch testing the combination by applying the formulas from the lightest to the heaviest consistency. This will help ensure that your skin doesn’t react negatively. That said, it's not essential to use multiple retinol products; you may find that this one alone is sufficient to address your skin concerns.Was this answer helpful to you

I know it's good practice to have both of these things implemented into a skincare routine so I was excited to try this since the formula has both Retinol AND Vitamin C in the formula..I was taking 2 steps and combining them! This was my first time using Retinol and I was worried because I read it ...

Horrible smell
Thought I would give this a try. Too soon for results but be aware of the smell!!! I think I will be returning. Smells very bad like vinegar.

My skin has suffered conscious neglect for most of my life. I am seeing some changes to the dark spots and also some light peeling off of the overly dry spots. So heading in the right direction. It will take time.

I just received this product which is to be very thinly applied over face & neck. It seems drying on my dry, aging skin so I'm uncertain I've made a good investment. Time will tell. Donna
