Retinoids are one of the most prescribed skincare actives. AHAs including glycolic, lactic, mandelic & malic acid are powerful chemical #exfoliants. Combination of both families are relative contraindications, however with planning, they have synergistic effects . 🔬Skin Science: #Retinols are derivatives of vitamin A. They are useful in the management of a myriad of skin conditions ranging from #acne, oily skin, photodamage, pigmentation, as well as #wrinkles. Start with a good formulation of retinol 0.5%, then gradually increase to 1.0% as tolerated . . 🍊AHAs are great for #exfoliation. They can be gradually incorporated into your skincare routine over time. Start with a 10% AHA serum, use once a week. Gradually increase to twice a week as tolerated. Used sensibly, most can increase to 15% -20% in a pulsed application (once to twice a week). . 🤔📖To understand what skincare is best suited for skin type & concerns, book an appointment with my clinical team @cutis_dermatology . 😎Davin Lim Dermatologist @101.skin Brisbane 🇦🇺 . . #skincarejourney #dermatology #drdavinlim #davinlim #theformulated #skincarescience #skinscience #skincarecommunity #instaskin #skinstagram #dermatologistbrisbane #cosmeticdoctorbrisbane #skincareroutine #skintips #skincare2021 #retinoltips #retinoidtips #retinolskincare #retinolroutine #retinolskintips #retinods #AHAtips .
