Note: Already own a similar active treatment? Finish that first before introducing this serum to avoid over-exfoliating your skin barrier.

- Mon: Dr. Reju-All Advanced Retino-Mela Serum (PM)
- Tue: Soothing hydration night (no retinoids or strong acids)
- Wed: Soothing hydration night
- Thu: Dr. Reju-All Advanced Retino-Mela Serum (PM)

What to Expect (Results Timeline) (progress guide)
- Immediate (Day 1): Skin feels smooth after application; lightweight texture absorbs without heavy residue.
- 2β4 weeks: Initial adjustment period; texture refinement begins, and minor purging may occur in congestion-prone areas.
- 4β8+ weeks: Noticeable improvement in skin brightness, more uniform tone, and softened appearance of fine lines and post-blemish spots.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (truth in skincare)
- Retinoids vs. Harsh Scrubs: Choose a scientifically formulated cosmetic retinoid serum rather than physical fruit scrubs or abrasive DIY baking soda pastes, which cause micro-tears and worsen dark spots.
- Sun Protection Necessity: Active ingredients require daily UV protection; skipping sunscreen while using retinoids reverses all progress and deepens pigmentation.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
Works well with: Hyaluronic acid, ceramides, soothing centella extracts, and daily mineral or chemical sunscreens.
Use carefully / Avoid on same night: High-percentage L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), direct exfoliating acids (Glycolic, Salicylic, Lactic acid), and benzoyl peroxide. Keep away from broken skin and the sensitive eye contour.
Skin Type Compatibility (suitability check)
- Oily / Combination: Excellent fit; helps regulate texture and post-blemish marks.
- Dry / Normal: Good fit when buffered or sealed with a nourishing moisturiser.
- Sensitive / Reactive: Requires a cautious patch test and a slow, gradual ramp-up phase (start 1x weekly).
Targeted Concerns (what it fixes)
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and uneven skin tone.
- Rough surface texture and mild congestion.
- Early expression lines and loss of skin elasticity.

Frequently Asked Questions (common queries)
- Can I use this serum every night right away? No. Active retinoids require a ramp-up phase starting at 2 nights per week to prevent barrier irritation.

- Is sunscreen mandatory while using this? Yes. Retinoids increase skin sensitivity to UV rays, making daily sunscreen non-negotiable under the Mauritian sun.
