FAQs
Who is this product best for?
This product is best suited for adults, particularly women, who are starting to notice early signs of aging, such as fine lines, and who are new to using retinol.
How often should I use the cream?
Start with once or twice a week and gradually increase the frequency as your skin tolerates it. You can eventually work up to nightly use.
Can I use this product if I have sensitive skin?
The cream is designed to be less irritating. However, it is recommended to do a patch test before full application, and if you have very sensitive skin, consult a dermatologist.
What should I avoid while using this cream?
Avoid using high concentrations of other actives, like Vitamin C, at the same time. Also, always use sunscreen during the day, as retinol increases sun sensitivity.
What should I do if my skin becomes irritated?
Reduce the frequency of use, use a gentle cleanser and a thicker moisturizer. If irritation is severe or persists, stop use and consult a dermatologist.
How long will it take to see results?
Results vary depending on the individual, but it typically takes several weeks to months of consistent use to see visible improvements.
How should I store the cream?
Store the cream in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Make sure the container is tightly closed.
Can I use this cream during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
It is recommended to consult with your doctor before using retinol products during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Troubleshooting
Skin irritation (redness, peeling) after use.
Reduce frequency of use, use a gentler cleanser, and apply a thicker moisturizer. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
No visible results after several weeks.
Ensure consistent use. Results take time. If still no improvement after several months, consider a higher concentration retinol, but consult a dermatologist first.
Breakouts (purging) occur after starting use.
This is a common reaction. Continue using the product, but reduce the frequency if breakouts are severe. If breakouts persist or worsen significantly, stop use and consult a dermatologist.
