A sample week
| Night | Routine |

Why nights matter
Without sun exposure or makeup on top, evenings are a good time for your active steps. Consistency matters more than timing, though: twice a day is the goal.
FAQ
Can I use copper peptides and retinol at night?
Yes. Apply DOSE first, let it absorb, then retinol. If your skin gets irritated, alternate nights.
Should I use copper peptides on nights I exfoliate?
Skip DOSE on acid nights and use it the rest of the week.
Do I need a night cream?
Any moisturiser your skin likes works. Drier skin may prefer something richer at night.
