What goes on first- Vitamin C serum or Hyaluronic acid? When do I apply my retinoid? Definitely a popular topic especially since we want our skincare products to work at their full capacity! Here I go over the order of application of popular ingredients in a morning and nighttime anti-aging skincare routine. Hope this helps!!

Can you just use Neutrogena hydro boost day and night? If Hyaluronic acid is what you’re saying to use.
Hi Dr Sugai! Thank you for all the useful info. Love your videos! Are we supposed to apply tretinoin cream near the eye area and on eyelids too after we apply the aquaphor? Thank you!
can i apply hyaluronic acid lotion after retinol?
Just found you Dr. Sugai and your videos! So informative!! My question on the night time routine, I have “retinol”, but I can’t use it every night. I usually use it every other. It really drys out my face and makes it red. What can I use instead of, in its place, or do I just straight go to my night time moisturizer?? Thank you so much for all the info!!
I notice my pores getting bigger. What can I use for that?
