A Retinol Sandwich

A retinol sandwich simply entails layering retinol between two applications of a non-active moisturiser.  To do it, apply moisturiser to damp, cleansed skin. Next, use your retinol product as directed on the package, remember a small amount goes a long way, avoiding sensitive areas like the eyelids and corners of the mouth. Then complete your “sandwich” by adding another generous layer of moisturiser on top. This second layer of moisturiser can either be the same formula you used for the first or a thicker one, depending on how much hydration you need.
