Can Power Glow Serum be combined with active ingredients like retinol?
Immediate Answer: Yes, Power Glow Serum can safely be combined with retinol and other products. Its gentle combination of antioxidants and lactobionic acid complements retinol well.
The Science: Power Glow Serum contains antioxidants and lactobionic acid, a gentle PHA that also draws moisture into the skin. This complements retinol well:
- Retinol accelerates cell turnover (potentially irritating)
- Vitamin C and ferulic acid add antioxidant protection
- Lactobionic acid attracts moisture (helps counter retinol-related dryness)
Introduce new products gradually, and always use SPF during the day when using retinol.
How to combine Power Glow Serum with other products:
- Anti-ageing concerns: Power Glow Serum (morning) + Daycream Defence Repair SPF 50 (morning) + Advanced Face Repair with retinol (evening)
- Dark spot concerns: Power Glow Serum (morning) + Daycream Defence Repair SPF 50 (morning) + Dark Spot Treatment patches (3x weekly evening) + Advanced Face Repair (evening)
The serum is designed to support, not compete, with other actives.
Pro Tip: If you’re using multiple actives, Power Glow Serum is an excellent safety net—it adds antioxidant protection and moisture while other ingredients drive specific results.
