Technically, yes, you could use it if you feel the need for extra hydration. However, I would avoid retinol eye creams as they potentially may irritate the skin. But if it's solely for extra hydration and some antioxidant benefits, then it could definitely be a good option. And welcome 🙃

I've heard it's safe to use peptides in the same session of your skincare routine with retinol, so I'd like to use a retinol with **both** the Argireline solution and the matrixyl 3000 solution at night. For now I'm using the CeraVe resurfacing retinol serum which is known for its gentleness but id like to step up into Vichy's LiftActiv Pure Retinol Serum that has 0.2% of pure retinol soon. Do you know if layering these 3 actives together is possible? I've thought of perhaps doing Argireline > retinol > and then the matrixyl as the last step since it's summer, but idk if I perhaps should do Argireline > matrixyl > retinol for better absorption? I'm a bit confused in here, sorry for bothering you Melissa, and thank you a lot 💕

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Hey! Yes, this can work. Choose the second option for layering because your peptide serums are much lighter and water-based, whereas Retinol is typically formulated in an oilier base.

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

I think it could be too much, potentially causing layering issues or sensitivities. Please ensure to use the right cleanser for your skin type. For dry skin, use the Cerave Hydrating Cleanser. For oily skin, choose the Cerave Foaming Cleanser. After using the Cerave cleanser, consider the following routine: Bioma Face Mist or The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid The Ordinary Niacinamide or The Ordinary Argireline Solution and The Ordinary Matrixyl Finish with Neutrogena Sunscreen. Overall, I would recommend using a maximum of two serums per routine to ensure proper layering and absorption. From my experience, this approach works best.

If it is morning, apply SPF. In the evening, you can do the same routine just without the SPF.

I read that you can apply the two peptides at the same time by mixing one drop of matrixyl with 2 drops of argireline and applying to the specific areas of the face you want to reduce wrinkles. Is this okay? I have been using the two serums this way for several months but will switch to applying argireline, waiting 30 sec, and then applying matrixyl if the two conflict in any way. Thank you for your helpful advice. The ordinary has so many products it is hard to know where to start to build a regime.

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Yes, that's acceptable. These serums do not conflict with each other; in fact, you can mix them and then apply them to your skin, or layer them. Generally, the idea behind layering is that it enables better absorption of the products. Using the lightweight formulation first allows for deeper penetration, while the heavier one stays a bit more on the surface. Practically speaking, if your skin can utilize the product, the difference may not be significant, but it certainly could be.

@@mariagill5183 The "glass skin" look you see online is often fictional unless you're willing to slather on tons of products. Not only can this feel uncomfortable, but it might also lead to other skin issues, especially when done continuously and not just for a camera shot with filters and/or makeup. Skin isn't naturally glowing. While you can use an exfoliant plus a hydrating product to achieve some glow, the effect has its limits. Age and genetics play significant roles in skin texture and appearance. Consider adding either an AHA (Glycolic or Lactic Acid) plus a hydrating product or a Retinol to your routine. If you opt for Retinol, start with a gentle one, like the Retinol Cream from Good Molecules.

[@elithluxe7568]

Does this combination actually work? My mom has been bothering me to get good quality products that help with wrinkles and plumping up the skin for her but there are so many products out there and I have zero clue about them. She was already using retinol but then wasn't satisfied with the slow results or lack thereof and stopped due to impatience

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

No, it does not penetrate deep enough for long-lasting results. Peptides are generally too large to penetrate the skin. However, the combination makes the skin look very plump as they sit on the skin's surface. This will give you a nice plumping effect during the day/night whenever you need it so that it will make a significant difference temporarily! Retinol is the best you can use. Or even better, a retinoid such as Adapalene or Tretinoin 0,05%.

Hi It is ok to use both argireline and matrixyl twice a day? so once in the morning routine and one before bed? thanks

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

Well the long-term benefits are questionable, but the short-term plumping effect is remarkable, therefore it may be best to use it during the day to have a nice glow/hydrated look. I mean, unless you go out in the evening ;) But I do not see any benefit in doing this. But you can, yes.

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

@@laurenbernhard8176 The Ordinary Peptides should not be used with exfoliating acids and Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) due to the low pH, which can break down the peptides and cause loss of benefits.

I use Peptides after applying Vit C I still feel like the Vit c is working many say it doesn't degrade and they actually compliment each other?

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

It depends on the peptides and vitamin c formulation you used. So if you use a Vitamin C derivative, it is no issue, (higher pH 5-6) but if you use an Ascorbic Acid serum, the low pH (2-3) will break them down; therefore, they do not work anymore.

Hey Melissa! Should I apply it on damp or dry skin!? Or no difference?!

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

dry or damp is fine, just avoid wet skin. Wet skin: This is skin that has a noticeable layer of water on it. You can see water drops on the skin's surface, and you can feel the water when you touch the skin. Damp skin: This refers to skin that has been patted dry on the surface, but still retains moisture internally. There are no visible water drops on the skin surface. It's akin to a sponge or a piece of clothing that no longer drips water, but remains moist to the touch. Dry skin: Dry skin refers to skin that has been patted dry on the surface, followed by waiting for 5-10 minutes to allow the rest of the moisture to evaporate. This practice involves letting the skin air dry completely before applying any products or continuing with other skincare routines. Doing so can be beneficial, especially when using potent treatments, as it allows them to absorb more slowly into the skin, thereby reducing irritation.

[@MelissaVanDijkTheSkinDiet]

@@gargidrawing9068 Well, as explained in the video, these peptide serums mainly offer temporary benefits and their long-term results are still somewhat questionable. Mostly, they all provide similar benefits, so from that perspective, you could use either one of them. You could even try both and alternate them in your morning and evening skincare routines. However, I personally would recommend a retinol or retinoid formulation as that may yield the best results over time! Just keep in mind that if you do these chemical peels, you may need to adjust the retinol you are using. It's better to ask the doctor or the person performing the peel for their suggestion.

I think not really much, as they are likely not penetrating deep enough. You will have a layer on top of the skin which looks very shiny and probably starts to pill off during the day. But exposing the skin to very high amounts can cause sensitivity over time "if absorbed"!
