Retinol and tri-ceramide complex: work well together

Work well together

Use them together in the same routine, applying retinol first and following with the ceramide cream, because ceramides help soothe and protect dry skin. Retinol can dry out your skin, while ceramides restore moisture and comfort to keep your skin barrier happy. You can use a lower strength of retinol or add time between applications if your skin feels sensitive.
