After Years of Testing Skincare Routines, This Is the Easiest and Most Effective

Now that your morning routine is covered, for night-time, you can swap out your SPF and antioxidant serum for a vitamin A or a night-time serum of your choice.

Ghalaie says, "If

vitamin A/retinols are going to be used, they should be reserved for night-time use. At night, it is important to cleanse the skin again to clear it of any dirt, bacteria, and build-up from the daytime. 

"At night, the products being used should be a retinol and rich moisturizer to prevent “retinisation,” or what I refer to as retinol-related dryness, redness, and irritation. If someone is pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding, then retinol should not be used, and instead, an effective alternative to vitamin A is bakuchiol, which is an excellent natural competitor to retinol."
