You can use this cream as the treatment step and moisturising night cream in one, because the formula contains retinol together with hydrating and emollient ingredients such as glycerin, shea butter, almond oil and caprylic/capric triglyceride. Apply it after cleansing, when the skin is dry. If your skin needs extra comfort, you can use a plain, non-exfoliating moisturiser before or after it, depending on what feels best.
When starting, avoid using it on the same evening as strong exfoliating acids, peeling products, harsh scrubs or other retinoid products unless you already know your skin tolerates that combination. Layering several active products can make dryness, stinging or flaking more likely. Products focused on gentle cleansing, hydration and barrier comfort are better partners while your skin adjusts.
In the morning, cleanse if needed, moisturise and apply sunscreen. This is important because retinol routines are typically used at night and paired with daily UV protection to help maintain results and reduce the chance of irritation from sun exposure. If you experience persistent discomfort, reduce the frequency rather than adding more active products to compensate.
