FAQ

How often should I use Retinol Serum?

Start with a few evenings a week and increase gradually as your skin adjusts. It's formulated for evening use only.

Can I use it with Glycolic Acid Serum?

We recommend alternating evenings rather than layering both active serums together, to keep your routine simple and give your skin time to adjust.

Will it feel drying?

The formula includes phospholipids, sodium hyaluronate, algae extract, and coconut fruit juice to support hydration alongside the retinol.

Do I need SPF the next day?

Yes. Retinol can increase sun sensitivity, so daytime SPF is important.

Hydrolyzed collagen is included as a conditioning ingredient that supports the look of smoother, more supple skin.
