Can I use retinol during summer if I wear SPF?

Yes, you can absolutely use retinol in summer — as long as you use SPF. Retinol doesn’t make your skin more sensitive to the sun, but it does thin the outer layer temporarily, which can make it more vulnerable to sunburn and pigmentation if unprotected.

Here’s how to use retinol safely in warmer months:

· 🌙 Apply only at night

· ☀️ Use SPF 50 every morning

· 🧴 Hydrate and calm the skin with soothing ingredients like aloe or centella

· 🚫 Avoid layering with strong acids

Dr. Dermaluci Lab’s Retinol Puro Serum is gentle, with 0.1% pure retinol and double hyaluronic acid, making it safe for sensitive skin all year round. Just keep up your sunscreen and your glow is safe.
