trtlcrzy- what is the order that you put your face regimen on? I do have rx retinol, so I put that on my forehead. I then put on my undereye serum. Then I put some night time moisturizer on any area that needs it. I want to use vit C as well, but not sure where to slip that in.

Well, right now my derm has me on a couple of things and doesn’t want me to use any extras. Basically you want to put on whatever is the most potent (or important to you) first and then do anything you want on a specific area last (like eye cream). I’d do the retinol first (why do you only use it on your forehead? It is a collagen booster so it will make your pores appear smaller, helps with any acne breakouts, etc so id do that everywhere), then vit C, moisturizer and the eye cream last.

Oh and Max woke me up at 3:30 this morning begging for breakfast. I held him off until 5 but then C got up at 6. I'm tired.

Because I have a horrible, deep wrinkle there that I hope I can minimize. I get so dry when I put it everywhere. So do you just layer your vit C on top of the retinol?

Once your skin gets used to it then it won’t be an issue. Yes, I would let the retinol dry completely before applying the vit c.
