Active ingredients

I’m not new to skincare but new to active ingredients! I mostly use only Hyaluronic acid, ceramide, centella and staff not highly active ones! And currently I’m adding retinol, niacinamide, adapalene, … to my routine! Can you drop your best practice please? Skin type: oily Concern: acne prone, pores & scars

You don’t need both Adapalene and retinol…they’re both retinoids…so use one and when that’s finished you can use the other one

i think only retinol is good enough for you . retinol could repairing skin texture , faded PIE and PIH , fighting acne and good for anti aging too . less is good 👌

Adapalene and retinol are both retinoids. So you don't need to use both as they're basically the same, although adapalene is more targeted for acne while retinol is great for anti-aging. Niacinamide is good for brightening and sebum control!

Niacinamide would be a good and pretty safe addition to your routine. Start with a low percentage 😉
