Ingredients That Should Not Be Used with Retinol:

AHA/BHA Acids (Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Lactic Acid)
These exfoliate the skin, and since retinol works in a similar way, using them together can cause excessive irritation, redness, and peeling.
Our products: Glow Tonic, Sebum Cleansing Gel (other facial cleansers can be used)

Pore Minimizing (Niacinamide Serum)

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)
They work at different pH levels, so using them together can disrupt the skin’s balance. It is more appropriate to use Vitamin C in the morning and retinol at night. Additionally, using Vitamin C during the day enhances the effectiveness of sunscreen.

Benzoyl Peroxide
Commonly used in acne treatments. When used together with retinol, they may neutralize each other’s effects and excessively dry out the skin.

Products Containing Benzoyl Peroxide
Using these with retinol increases the risk of dryness and irritation.

Exfoliating Physical Peeling Products
Since retinol already renews the skin, additional exfoliation may lead to irritation.

Ingredients Compatible and Soothing with Retinol:

Hyaluronic Acid – Moisturizes and prevents dryness.
Pure Niacinamide – Soothes the skin and may reduce the side effects of retinol.
Ceramides – Strengthen the skin barrier.
Panthenol and Aloe Vera – Provide calming and moisturizing effects.

Ceramide: Strengthens the skin barrier, locks in moisture, and protects against environmental stressors.
Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide): Reduces redness, evens skin tone, and improves skin elasticity.
Retinol: Promotes cell turnover, reduces fine lines, and enhances collagen production.

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean, dry face. Gently cleanse your skin to remove any impurities and ensure it’s ready to absorb the serum.

2. Apply the Serum:

Take a small amount of the Sinoz Retinol Lift-Xylane Serum.
Apply evenly across your face and neck, gently massaging it into the skin in upward, circular motions.
Moisturize: Follow up with a moisturizer to lock in hydration and enhance the serum's effects.

Frequency:

Beginner: If you’re new to retinol, start by using the serum 2-3 times per week at night.
Regular Use: Once your skin has adjusted, you can gradually increase to daily use.
Sun Protection: Always apply sunscreen during the day, as retinol increases skin sensitivity to sunlight.

Tip: Avoid using with other active ingredients like AHAs/BHAs and Vitamin C to prevent irritation.
