Retinol and green tea: work well together

Work well together

Apply green tea first, and then retinol, because this combination helps keep your skin smooth and protected. Green tea helps calm and protect the skin while retinol works on smoothing fine lines. If your skin feels sensitive, try waiting longer between applying them or use a gentler formula.
