Skin care routine

[emhilde]

Need help! When should I apply my retinol eye cream? I’m guessing at night. Also what type of products should I apply it before and after?

Retinol is going to work best on bare clean dry skin, and you're right, nighttime is best because it doesn't interact well with UV light. But for some people, it's too strong for bare skin, so you'll have to experiment a bit. A good well formulated product should be very gentle, especially if it's intended for your eye area, but some skin is more sensitive and needs buffering to sort of water it down with another product. You should be able to put your facial moisturizer over it if it doesn't give enough moisture by itself.
