Retinol and active products in summer: continue to build up slowly

Active products are not a competition

Retinol, acids, peels, and powerful serums can do a lot for skin improvement. But in the summer, your skin often requires a little more care. Sun, heat, and spending more time outdoors make it extra important to build up slowly.

More is not automatically better. In fact, too many active products at once can lead to redness, flaking, stinging, or skin that suddenly seems to tolerate nothing.

Here's how to use them wisely

• Preferably use active products in the evening, if suitable for the product.
• Build up slowly and observe how your skin reacts.
• Do not combine multiple strong products on one evening without advice.
• Always use SPF during the day.
• Give your skin a break if it stings, flakes, or remains red.

A good routine doesn't feel like a struggle. It's more like a quiet conversation with your skin. Sometimes it responds kindly, sometimes it slams the door shut. Listen to that.
