minoxidil & Copper Peptide- Which should I apply first?

[Jay Tee]

Here's what I've been doing lately:

Morning:
Apply Minoxodil/Retin-A and then go to work.

Evening:
As soon as I get home from work (around 5:30 PM), I apply the American Crew Revitalize copper peptide spray. A few hours later, I apply the minoxidil/Retin-A solution again.

Is this ok? Or should I be using the copper peptide spray first?

Thanks.

I would think what you are doing is fine.

Great, thanks for the reply!

You are risking skin damage by applying minoxidil w/retin-a in the morning and going outside, especially with the summer coming.

Retin-A increases cell turnover in the skin thus causing the skin to thin in areas that it is applied.

This increases the skin's sensitivity to Ultra-Violet light.

If you go out in the sun with the retin-a minoxidil on your head you are likely to burn those areas badly - especially in hotter climates now the summer is here.

Dr Lee recommends the formula for nightime use only.

Be careful.

Thanks for the tip, but I leave my house for work before the sun is up and I work indoors in an office! Not to mention that this stuff is completely dry before I even leave the house. So I guess I'm safe from the sun.
