RD Derma Collagen Regenerative Anti-Aging Gel

1. Morning and evening, start on clean skin. Tone first if that is your habit.
2. Smooth a thin layer over face, neck, décolleté and eye contour. It goes on the body too.
3. Let it absorb completely before the next step. The gel is fluid and disappears without stickiness or shine.
4. Follow with your day or night cream, then sun protection in the morning.

Can I use it if retinol irritates my skin?

That is the case the brand builds it for. The formula works without retinoids, so there is no peeling or flaking phase to get through. If your skin reacts easily, use it once a day for the first week before moving to morning and evening.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

The supplier lists dry, normal, oily and sensitive skin, and the formula carries no fragrance at all. That covers most reactive skin. As always, patch test behind the ear for a couple of days if your skin has surprised you before.

How do I layer it with the rest of my routine?

Straight onto clean skin, before everything else. It is fluid, so it goes on first. Let it absorb fully, then your serum if you use one, then your day or night cream. In the morning, sun protection goes last.

What is the difference from Derma Elastin?

Same delivery system, different target. Derma Collagen works on collagen and the look of fine lines. Derma Elastin works on elastin fibres, tone and the appearance of pores. The brand sells them together as a protocol, so they are built to be used alongside each other.
