Never tried this one before, but when I use a new retinol product, I usually use the sandwich method until i know for sure it doesn't irritate my skin π

I have tried it today with the sandwich method as well! I used a layer of the Aveeno moisturizer, then the serum and I finished with the CeraVe cream. I used less than a peasize amount and distributed it evenly on my face and throat. Hoping I will not get irritation this way. π€π»
What retinol products have you used so far? π

I also use the sandwich method with this one. I was scared the first time I tried it so I applied it just on my forehead. I've been using it for more than 4 months now and still haven't tried it on bare skin. So to answer your question, it does work over a moisturizer but it will probably take longer to show results. I personally don't mind that since this is my first retinoid. Having less irritation is my priority and I'm not in a hurry.

Thanks for your input. π Less irritation is my goal too! The first night using the retinal has passed and so far I experienced no irritation. I will continue using the serum on top or a layer of the Aveeno moisturizer, since the cream is light and not too occlusive (ie the CeraVe one).
I have however, applied teeny tiny dots on bone dry skin on my throat then folowed in with my moisturizer. All seems well, I will give plenty of time to get used to the retinal.

I never use a moisturizer before a retinol use a hyaluronic acid serum or collagen serum first but not a moisturizer. itβs a relatively soft retinol so it wonβt be harsh enough like Tretinoin for you to have to use moisturizer first plus you waste your retinol. do this
cleanse
toner
essence
hyaluronic acid serum
collagen serum
or any serum with peptides THEN USE
RETINOL THEN
MOISTURIZER THEN
FACE OIL.
thatβs the perfect layering. trust me Iβve been doing this for years and tried many products. I have an Instagram page all about the skincare I use and reviews and dos and donts

i have used the a-game 5 retinal serum, it has a very creamy consistency and it did not irritate my skin at all, but i also saw no effects from it. retinal is known to be less irritating than retinol but i would still apply it after moisturizer or hydrating products to see your reaction, and due to its creamy instead of watery consistency i think it could penetrate through the layer of moisturizer π
