RETINOL & RETINOID

[ilovegod1]

So I had purchased the power kit Sunday's riley good genes and luna sleep. I did some research drunk elephant bha/aha is a better product than the good genes, I did some more digging discovered sundays riley retinoidA+ might be better than the luna sleep. so my question is can I combined the drunk elephant aha/bha with the Sunday riley retinoid A+ ? I know you can mix the sunday riley power kit together. I know the Sunday riley power kit will be less money but I honestly want the best effect. Is it true retinoid is better than retinol ? thats why I'm thinking I should switch my good genes to drunk elephant bha/aha & my luna sleep to reniod A+.... another product caught my attention Peter thomas retinoid....is that any good wich products will I get more effects from ?

@ilovegod1You can definitely use DRUNK ELEPHANT - T.L.C. Framboos™ Glycolic Resurfacing Night Serum with Sunday Riley A+ High-Dose Retinol Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL. The SR A+ is super gentle and I do personally like the DE Framboos more than the good genes but only because the good genes felt weird to me, not because it worked less. Additionally, while both GG and the DE Framboos are AHAs, GG is a lactic acid while Framboos is a glycolic acid. Lactic acids tend to be gentler on average and everyone reacts to the different actives in these products differently, so "better" is a bit subjective. If you are a first time AHA/Retinol user or combiner, the GG may be better for it's gentleness

For the retinol- again I'd say, what is your definition of "best"/Better? Because if this is your first time using retinols AHA/BHA products a lighter/gentler retinol may be better so you don't burn your skin. An oil based formula like the Luna may actually be better to start with and then move up to the A+ when you need to replace?

I'd also enter a plug here for The Ordinary Lactic Acid 10% + HA 2% High-Strength Exfoliating Serum for Uneven Texture 1 oz/ 30 mL instead of the good genes- just as strong of a lactic-acid based AHA but at a waaay better price. I also think I saw on the "deals too good to pass up" thread that SR is offering 30% off for a little bit. A 30% off A+ or Luna and the Ordinary serum would run at about the same price as the kit you got

Thank you so much ♡ that's another thing I was thinking about "working my way up" 🙂 because yes I'm a bit of a beginner on the retinol & retinoid might be a bit to strong for my skin. thank you so much !
