Which skin type is this serum suitable for, and can it be used together with acids or retinoids? — Wrinkle-Smoothing Face Serum, 30 ml-RUBELLA BEAUTY

The ceramide serum is designed for different skin types, first of all for those whose skin lacks softness, who notice rapid moisture loss, dullness or increased sensitivity to external factors such as wind, heating and temperature changes. The light texture does not feel heavy, so the product will also suit those who avoid dense creams.

It is worth saying separately about combining it with active ingredients. Acids (AHA, BHA) and retinoids work effectively but often reduce the resilience of the skin barrier: the skin becomes drier and reacts more sharply to washing and the environment. In this context, ceramides help make the routine more balanced, as they replenish the lipid layer that such products can partly deplete. Usually the ceramide serum is applied after an acid or retinoid, letting each layer absorb for a while.

With sensitive skin, and when used in the area around the eyes, it is advisable first to assess the reaction on a small area of skin. A formula without fragrances reduces the risk of irritation, but an individual reaction is always possible. The product is for external use only; if an allergic reaction occurs, stop using it and consult a doctor.
