FAQs

Can I use this product during the day?

It is recommended to use this product only in your evening routine, as retinoids can be sensitive to light and may increase sun sensitivity.

Is this safe for sensitive skin?

Yes, the 0.2% concentration and addition of Centella Asiatica make it suitable for sensitive skin, provided you patch test and introduce it slowly.

Does it contain fragrance?

The formula focuses on soothing ingredients; however, always check the full ingredient list on the packaging if you have specific fragrance allergies.

Can I use this with other active ingredients?

Avoid using it alongside strong exfoliants like AHAs, BHAs, or high-potency Vitamin C to prevent skin barrier damage.

How long will one bottle last?

With nightly use, a 30ml bottle typically lasts between 2 to 3 months depending on the amount applied per use.

What is the role of the micro-spicule delivery system?

It helps the active ingredients penetrate the outer layer of the skin more efficiently, ensuring the retinol reaches deeper layers where it can be most effective.

Troubleshooting

Mild redness or peeling after application

This is common during the 'retinization' process. Reduce frequency to once every three nights and focus on heavy hydration.

Tingling sensation feels uncomfortable

Ensure the skin is completely dry before application, as damp skin can increase the penetration and irritation potential of active ingredients.

Product pump is not dispensing

Ensure the cap is tightly closed and prime the pump by pressing it firmly several times to remove any trapped air.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Specifically formulated for retinol beginners and sensitive skin types
  • Contains both retinol and retinal for comprehensive smoothing effects
  • Includes soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica to prevent irritation
  • Lightweight formula that absorbs quickly without sticky residue
  • Supports skin elasticity and refined texture

Cons

  • Requires a slow introductory period to avoid sensitivity
  • Visible results may take several weeks of consistent use
  • Retinol products can increase sun sensitivity, requiring daily SPF use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, conduct a patch test on a small area of the inner arm. If your skin is sensitive, start with a "sandwich method" by applying a light layer of moisturizer before and after the ampoule. Avoid combining this product with high-concentration Vitamin C or exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs) in the same routine to prevent over-sensitization. Always store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the stability of the retinoids. Wearing broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning is mandatory while using this product to protect the skin from UV-induced irritation.
