IS IT ADVISED TO REFRAIN FROM USING COPPER AND VITAMIN A AND C AT THE SAME TIME? DO THEY CANCEL EACH OTHER OUT? HOW CAN A PATIENT USED ALL OF THESE INGREDIENTS IN A REGIMEN?Updated 6 months ago

There is conflicting and non-conclusive data to suggest that both Retinol and Vitamin C are affected by the use of copper. Our lab has formulated all of our products to synergically work together in tandem, therefore, we do not have a protocol to avoid using Needle Free Serum if the patient is applying Vitamin C or Retinol. As research continues to evolve, our position may at some point change, but right now we do not have any conclusive and solidified data to suggest the exact formulations and combinations we have should not be used together. You always want to allow the face to dry down about 3-4 minutes after cleaning before applying a retinol. Typical rule to go by is to allow 1-2 minutes for the product to absorb before applying or layering the next product.
