We’re off on holiday in 2 weeks. I'm almost 40.

I’m using:
This works Vit C
Nip fab glycolic extreme pads
Vichy Liftactiv

Do I need to stop anything due to the sun? Do I swap it for something else? Any recommendations?

Thank you.

I'm not sure what Vichy product you're using as you only mention the product line but so long as you're wearing a standalone SPF 50 and topping up every two hours of prolonged exposure you shouldn't need to give anything up (and if you were, it's several weeks ahead you stop using it, not when you get there). The vitamin c boosts SPF efficacy so no issue there, I'd probably ease up with the glycolic if you're going to be out in strong sun a lot and avoid using it in the morning.

Brilliant, thank you.
It's the Collagen specialist night cream.

I use LRP anthelios during the day.

Vichy liftactiv collagen specialist night cream has no sun sensitising ingredients in so should be absolutely fine to use as you normally would. Enjoy your holiday 🏖️

I’d knock the glycolic off. Have you got a mineral sunblock & hat?

I’ve got LRP anthelios. Is that mineral? I need one that doesn’t make my eyes water.

Off to buy a hat…..
