Your firmness and renewal routine

Q-Peptide Pro Serum™ provides the regular support step. Q-Retinol Pro Night Gel™ remains the principal active on retinol evenings.

Regular morning treatment

Support firmness and resilience

Use Q-Peptide Pro Serum™ as the principal morning serum.

1

Cleanse

Use a mild cleanser, then gently dry the face and neck.

2

Apply Q-Peptide Pro Serum™

Spread 2–3 drops in a thin, even layer over the face and neck. Avoid direct eye contact.

3

Hydrate if needed

Follow with AquaLock Serum™ or a suitable moisturiser when additional hydration is required.

4

Protect

Finish every morning with broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Why use peptides regularly?

Copper Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 provide complementary cosmetic support for firmness, smoothness and resilience. Q10, stable vitamin C, tocotrienols and humectants add antioxidant and conditioning support.

Selected-evening treatment

Renew and refine

Use Q-Retinol Pro Night Gel™ gradually according to tolerance.

1

Cleanse and dry

Use a mild cleanser and allow the skin to dry before applying the retinol gel.

2

Apply Q-Retinol Pro Night Gel™

Apply a thin, even layer to the face and neck. Avoid eyelids, the immediate eye contour, lips and nose corners.

3

Keep the evening simple

Do not add Q-Peptide Pro Serum™, another retinoid or strong exfoliating acids on the same evening during introduction.

4

Protect the following day

Resume the morning peptide routine and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Why use the Night Gel?

It provides the Q-Retinol Pro active system in a more substantial, cushioning gel texture for selected-evening renewal. It is an alternative to Q-Retinol Pro Serum™, not an additional layer.

Two complementary pathways to firmer-looking skin

Peptide care supports the appearance of firmness, resilience and smoothness through regular use. Retinol supports renewal, refined texture and the visible appearance of fine lines. The value of the combination comes from assigning each product a clear role—not from applying both concentrated treatments together.

Introduce Q-Retinol Pro™ gradually

Keep Q-Peptide Pro Serum™ consistent in the morning while adjusting only the frequency of the retinol treatment.

Weeks 1–2

Two evenings weekly

Use the Night Gel on two non-consecutive evenings, such as Monday and Thursday.

Weeks 3–4

Every other evening

Increase only if the skin remains comfortable without persistent dryness or irritation.

After week 4

Maintain the tolerated level

Continue every other evening or adjust according to comfort and final packaging directions. Nightly use is not essential for everyone.

On non-retinol evenings: cleanse and use simple hydration. Q-Peptide Pro Serum™ may remain a morning-only treatment; there is no need to repeat it at night merely to fill a routine step.

Compatibility and precautions

A controlled schedule is more useful than a crowded anti-ageing routine.

Recommended

  • Use Q-Peptide Pro Serum™ in the morning.
  • Introduce Q-Retinol Pro Night Gel™ on selected evenings.
  • Use a mild cleanser and non-exfoliating hydration products.
  • Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning.
  • Patch test each product and introduce them separately.
  • Reduce retinol frequency if dryness, tightness or flaking develops.

Avoid or use caution

  • Do not use Q-Retinol Pro Serum™ and Q-Retinol Pro Night Gel™ together; they are alternative formats.
  • Avoid strong AHA/BHA products, peels and abrasive scrubs on retinol evenings during introduction.
  • Do not apply retinol to wet, broken, irritated or recently exfoliated skin.
  • Stop use if persistent burning, marked redness, swelling or significant irritation occurs.
  • Seek appropriate professional advice before retinol use during pregnancy, breastfeeding, pregnancy planning or medical treatment.

Frequently asked questions

Use the simplest arrangement that remains comfortable and sustainable.

Can both products be used on the same day?

Yes. Use Q-Peptide Pro Serum™ in the morning and Q-Retinol Pro Night Gel™ in the evening. Keeping them at different times is the preferred introductory arrangement.

Should I layer Q-Peptide Pro Serum™ under the Night Gel?

Not initially. The Night Gel should be the principal active on retinol evenings. Separating the treatments makes tolerance easier to assess and reduces unnecessary routine complexity.

Why use Night Gel rather than Q-Retinol Pro Serum™?

The Serum and Night Gel use the same Q-Retinol Pro active system in different textures. This routine selects the thicker Night Gel for a more substantial overnight format. Use one Q-Retinol format, not both.

Can Q-Peptide Pro Serum™ be used every morning?

Begin once daily and continue each morning if the skin remains comfortable and the final packaging directions permit.

What should I do if dryness occurs?

Pause the Night Gel until the skin feels normal, then restart less frequently. Keep cleansing gentle, use suitable hydration and avoid exfoliating treatments until comfort is restored.

Can I use DermaClear or PigmentFade Pro™ in this routine?

Do not add them to retinol evenings. These are advanced treatment systems and should be scheduled separately only after tolerance is established. Avoid turning this routine into a multi-active rotation without clear need.

Does this routine replace sunscreen?

No. Broad-spectrum sunscreen remains the final morning step and is particularly important when using retinol.
