Answer
Subject: Usage of Retinal
Regarding your questions about using Retinal (Retinaldehyde) 0.1% cream:
Can it be used with other skincare products?
Yes, it can be used normally with other skincare products like serum before and moisturizer after.Can it be used during the day?
You should avoid direct sunlight. It is fine to use indoors where there is no direct sun exposure.Can it be used with Copper Peptide?
Yes, it can be used with Copper Peptide, even when mixed in the same formula, as long as the Copper Peptide is not exposed to heat.Does the opaque white bottle protect from light?
The opaque white bottle provides a low level of light protection, which is insufficient for Vitamin A products.
Regarding your follow-up question about different types of Vitamin A and their compatibility with other skincare:
The staff mentioned that they are unsure why you believe Retin-A cannot be used with other products. Generally, the products you asked about do not contain ingredients that would cause issues with Retin-A or other types of Vitamin A. The key consideration when using Vitamin A, including Retin-A, is that it can cause skin irritation. Therefore, it is important to use it on healthy skin, and formulations often include oils or moisturizers to help prevent dryness and peeling. Compatibility depends more on avoiding irritating combinations rather than a blanket rule against using Vitamin A with other skincare.
