Question 1

With the 3 combo pack of different serums, are you using all 3 at the same time or alternating each serum daily?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your question, it is a good one.All of our serums can be used interchangeably, and they are each designed for all skin types, but the typical use would be Vitamin C Serum in the morning and Retinol Serum in the evening (read my blurb on "Retinol" below). I personally use the Hyaluronic Acid Serum after the Retinol Serum because Hyaluronic Acid tends to help skin retain moisture, and Retinol can be a very "drying" agent (we have boosted our Retinol Serum with Hyaluronic Acid for this very purpose, but I like to end my day with Hyaluronic Acid). Truthfully, the Hyaluronic Acid Serum may be used with either serum for maximum effect, because it is excellent at helping skin retain moisture.I feel I should talk about Retinol in general a bit, because while you may be very familiar with it, many people are not. Until your skin is used to it, you should only ever use a new Retinol product 2-3 times per week, working your way up to daily use if your skin can tolerate daily use, and you should avoid prolonged or excessive exposure to the sun (Retinol can cause sun sensitivity and hyper-pigmentation due to its being a fairly powerful ingredient).I hope this helped. If there is anything more I can help with, please ask at any time.Thank you and have a wonderful day.

Question 2

What moisturizer (day and night) would you recommed after applying serums?

Accepted Answer

I realize this is an old question, but thought I'd answer in case anyone else has the same question. I use Earth Science oil free moisturizer for both day and night. However, I've noticed that I need a lot less moisturizer after starting the Tree of Life products - not sure if it's because of the vitamin c serum or the hyraluronic acid serum, or both. I'm 37 with oily skin, if that helps.

Question 3

What is the strength of the retinol?

Accepted Answer

FYI, the previous answer that “0.5% is the maximum you should use” is wrong. It’s the MINIMUM you should be using for effectiveness. You can work your way up to higher amounts. You can get up to 2% without a prescription in the U.S.  Anything stronger needs to come from the dermatologist.

Question 4

I recently purchased these three products)vitamin c serum, hyaluronic acid serum, and retinal serim).What would be a good moisturizer to use with them

Accepted Answer

I usually buy whats on sale so lately I have been using Roc 5 in 1 Daily moisturizer because it has SPF 30...I'm outside a lot.  At night, once again because it was on sale, Neutrogena Rapid Repair moisturizer....it has Retinol, too, but the "extra" has not irritated my skin when using the TOL products.  I use all on my face, neck and chest at night.  Plus, I like using the Vit C serum and Hy Acid on the back of my hands at night and "seal" it in with Eucerin Aquaphor advance therapy hand cream.
