Artichoke ampoule

I dont recommend it with retinol bc of the alcohol in it and that will probably REALLY dehydrate your skin. I at least wouldnt use them at the same time; maybe try alternate days or the artichoke serum in the morning and the retinol at night? As for vitamin c, it's best to avoid it, but not as bad as the retinol. If it were me I would try it and see how my skin reacted and if there was any negative reaction skip the artichoke serum on days I use vitamin c.

I didn't like this ampoule at all😥. Unpleasant finish and slight stickiness afterwards. The most obvious thing is that I bought it after a lot of thought and studying reviews. In general, out of the 4 Axis products (ampoule, serum, cream and pha peel), I didn’t like any of them. Especially worthless peel - just useless!

The opinions about combining vit C with Retinol are Split. I saw some Research showing that vit C enhances the Retinol effectiveness , but can cause Irritation etc. try on a small Spot for a few days and see how your skin reacts. I avg skin is different, you know yours best

@glowlin perhaps this is only the case with my skin, but with other skin types there will be no stickiness🥴

The Axisy Artichoke Ampoule already contains vitamin C in its formula! Also, when creating a skincare routine, you want to stay away from combining any vitamin C serum with a retinol, niacinamide, AHAs, BHAs, or benzol peroxide in the same routine; it can lead to skin irritation, drying, and flaking.
