can i use cicaplast with retinol

Hi there! I’m not a skin care expert, but I can share what I found. Both Cicaplast and retinol are skin care products and can possibly be used together. However, retinol is a strong ingredient that can sometimes cause skin irritation, dryness or peeling. If used in combination with Cicaplast, it may help to soothe and repair the skin. But each individual’s skin reacts differently, so it’s recommended to gradually introduce new products and always do a patch test first!

The general advice is to clean your face first and then apply retinol. Let it do its work for around 20-30 minutes before applying Cicaplast. Doing it this way will prevent diluting the retinol and ensure that your skin fully receives its benefits. After that, you can apply Cicaplast to help soothe your skin. Remember, always start with small amounts before gradually increasing.

It really depends on how your skin handles it. Some people might be able to use retinol daily, while others may only be able to tolerate it every other day or a few times a week. It's best to start slow and see how your skin responds before increasing the frequency. Remember, protecting your skin is everything!
