Quick Answer
Use your vitamin C mask in the morning and your bio-retinol mask in the evening. If you want to use both in one routine, apply the vitamin C mask first, rinse, then follow with the bio-retinol mask.
Why time of day matters
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps protect skin from environmental stressors during the day, making it a great morning choice. Bio-retinol works to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while you sleep, so it fits naturally into an evening routine. This simple split lets each mask do its job without competing for attention.
What if you want to use both in one session?
If you prefer a single pampering session, apply the vitamin C mask first, rinse it off, then apply the bio-retinol mask. The vitamin C mask's fruit acid AHAs gently exfoliate, preparing skin to better absorb the nourishing bio-retinol mask. Just keep in mind that layering two active masks in one go may be more than some skin types need, so listen to your skin and adjust frequency.
Consider your skin's tolerance
Both masks are formulated to be gentle, but they work differently. The vitamin C mask includes natural fruit acid AHAs like glycolic acid from sugar cane, which exfoliate and brighten. The bio-retinol mask uses bio-retinol from Bidens pilosa to deliver retinol-like benefits without irritation. If your skin is sensitive, start by using each mask on separate days rather than layering them.
The Simple Order
- Morning: Vitamin C Mask: Apply the vitamin C mask for 3 minutes, rinse, and continue with your usual morning routine. This gives antioxidant protection and a brightening boost. Use 2–3 times a week if your skin is new to AHAs.
- Evening: Bio-Retinol Mask: Apply the bio-retinol mask for 5 minutes, rinse, and follow with your night moisturizer. This supports skin renewal while you sleep. Start with once a week, then increase gradually.
- Same session: Vitamin C first, then Bio-Retinol: If you must use both at once, apply the vitamin C mask first, rinse, then apply the bio-retinol mask. The exfoliation can help the bio-retinol absorb better. Limit this combo to once a week to avoid over-exfoliation.
