Some ingredients may increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight, so it is recommended to apply them mainly at night. Skin sensitivity to certain ingredients can vary from person to person, but some chemical components can increase susceptibility to irritation or cause adverse reactions when exposed to the sun.
Here are 25 ingredients suggested for use in your nighttime routine (not mandatory as each skin reacts differently to each ingredient):
Retinoids: Such as retinol, which can cause sun sensitivity.
Glycolic acid: An exfoliant that can make skin more photosensitive.
Salicylic acid: Another exfoliant that is best used in the nighttime routine.
Repairing peptides: Contribute to cell regeneration during sleep.
Vitamin A (topical retinoids): Improves cell renewal and is photosensitive.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid): Best for nighttime due to its sensitivity to light.
Lactic acid: Gentle exfoliant, ideal for nighttime cell renewal.
Coenzyme Q10: Antioxidant that can aid in cellular repair during the night.
Collagen-stimulating peptides: Promote collagen production during rest.
Licorice extract: May help reduce hyperpigmentation, best at night.
Citrus: Some citrus essential oils, such as lemon, can increase sun sensitivity.
Bergamot oil: May increase the risk of photosensitivity.
Benzoyl peroxide: Used in acne products, may cause irritation when combined with solar radiation.
Tretinoin: A derivative of vitamin A, it is found in some skin treatments and may increase sun sensitivity.
Coal tar: Found in some psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis products, may increase sun sensitivity.
Sulfonamides: Some topical antibiotics contain sulfonamides that can cause skin reactions to the sun.
Antipsoriatic drugs: Some may increase sun sensitivity.
Cinnamon oil: May irritate the skin when exposed to the sun.
Eucalyptus oil: Some people may experience photosensitivity.
Tea tree oil: In high concentrations, may cause irritation in the sun.
