If I apply Vit C in the AM and use retinol and glycolic acid on alternating nights, when can I apply The Orindary's Buffet w/ Copper Peptides?

Thanks

I use Isomer's copper peptide serum and find it very soothing to the skin.  I am  sensitive to retinol and sometimes have a little irritation the next day, and then I will use the copper as my serum in the morning.   I believe you should not mix copper peptides with retinols, glycolics, or C so I wouldn't use them at the same time.

Always apply the VC serum first to clean, dry skin. Wait about 30 minutes and then apply the CP serum for best results. If you're in a hurry then give it at least 15 min in between applications.

Thank you @SilleeMee 

I use two essences.  Those are supposed to go on first.

So I should use the Vit C first, wait 15 to 30 minutes and

then apply essences and the rest of my morning skincare?

I'm normally not in a rush in the morning since I don't work.

I can make the change if that's what you think I should do.

The essence's job is to hydrate and help the other products 

absorb better and work better.

Thank you

It's getting to the point I need an afternoon skincare program lol

I recently added a retinol and glycolic acid to my evening routine.

I'd been using a GA but it wasn't strong enough.  I alternate the

Naturium retinol and GA at night.  I'm going to have to apply the VC

and Copper Peptides in the morning unless I apply the peptides mid

day.  Sheese!  This is getting out of hand

I'm curious .....   Exactly what is going on with your skin that you think you need this product?

I'm curious as to why you want to know.  You've  been critical of me in the past so I can't tell if your curiosity is genuine or not.

My curiousity is genuine.  I get the regular email from the American Dermatology Assn and seem to recall something a while back about copper peptides (or copper something very similar)  for certain skin irritations.   When I read your post I wondered if you were thinking of using it as a treatment and responded to your thread.   Didn't mean to offend.  It was a sincere question.

In my case I have Rosacea, and found by accident that Copper P helps keep it under control.  For some strange reason, Retin-A helps as well.

@monicakm 

I use Isomers Buffet Copper P at night, alternating with Retin-A.
