Alternating serums

[mmck07]

Hi all! Was curious about if/how you alternate different serums. I am currently using Sunday Riley’s Luna Sleeping Night Oil (which I love) under my moisturizer, but I’d like to try an AHA serum like the new one from Farmacy, or possibly a Vitamin C serum (maybe also from Sunday Riley). I am 36 and primarily looking to diminish the appearance of lines (especially forehead/between the brows) but also looking for product that might make my skin a little brighter and just more “awake”... What serum routines have worked for you? ❤️

I use Vitamin C in the morning, then alternate either a retinol/retinoid or an AHA at night and then pick one or two nights to not use any strong actives and instead focus on moisture.

I got into skincare about 18 months back and with the use of the following serums, my darker spots seem to be lighter in color and I see slight reductions in my fine lines and wrinkles.  I don’t alternate but rotate randomly amongst several evening serums:

SR Luna oil, SR Good Genes, and DE Framboos.

Only time I alternate serums is at night. I use all the ones you named. I specifically use the Drunk Elephant C Serum during the day along with the B Hydration. At night I switch with either the Luna Oil, Drunk Elephant new Retinol Cream Or Biossance.

Thanks for the cautionary advice! Don’t worry, I’m very careful when starting new products and don’t want to bombard my skin with too much. That’s why I asked about alternating—I was more curious how people staggered potent serums, like using a retinol MWF and a hydrating serum TR; or maybe one kind in the morning and one at night, or something like that. I am not a huge fan of layering because it’s harder for me to tell which product might be causing a problem if there’s a problem, or what might be interfering with what, or which product is actually most effective. I like people’s product suggestions in this thread—but if I try any I would probably do so slowly, not combined with anything else at first, just to be safe. (Plus I like relative simplicity: cleanser, serum, moisturizer) 🙂

DRUNK ELEPHANT - A-Passioni™ Retinol Creamand DRUNK ELEPHANT - C-Firma™ Day Serum, @mmck07. I’m 38 and have the best skin of my life right now. I also use either Luna or Framboos at night but have been using a Passioni and C-Firma during the day since it was released. That combo will tackle fine lines and give you the brightness you want. I can’t even begin to express my love for these products! If you love Sunday Riley (I definitely do), I know she’s launching A+ (which is her Retinol) and CEO could also be a great addition. So, I wouldn’t alternate, just change it up a bit. ❤️
