Can I use retinol with these products?
Yes, there is no contraindication with retinol so you can continue to use retinol if desired. That said, Dermalist’s products are designed to work as a complete skin treatment program wherein you do not require additional actives so you will get the best results using them exclusively, for at least 28 days - without the use of other actives or serums. Our recommendation is to cease use of retinol for a 28 day period and noticed the changes in your skin just using the three-step process. If you wish to re-introduce the retinol after that period of time, then do so slowly and build up.
Can you recommend a moisturiser to use alongside the Dermalist range?
When using our complete 3-step skin program (Ultra Hydrating Lactic Cleanser, Ultra Smoothing Facial Exfoliant & AllSerum Skin Perfector) we find that many people don’t require a moisturiser as the range has been carefully designed to treat, hydrate and protect your skin using a series of carefully selected active ingredidents. If however, you have dry skin or just feel like you need more hydration / nourishment, we recommend incorporating a gentle moisturiser without too many active ingredients or harsh preservatives (vegan where possible) so as not to overwhelm your skin with additional active ingredients. If you would like specific advice or to hear our team's personal recommendations, please get in touch with our customer care team at team@dermalist.com.
