FAQs
How often should I use the serum?
Start with 1-2 times per week and gradually increase as tolerated. Most users find daily use is fine, but listen to your skin.
Can I use this serum during the day?
It is best used at night. Because this product contains Retinol, it can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Always apply sunscreen during the day when using this serum.
What should I do if my skin becomes irritated?
Reduce the frequency of use. If irritation is severe, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
Can I use this serum with other products?
Yes, but introduce it slowly. Avoid using it with other harsh actives or exfoliants simultaneously, such as AHAs/BHAs. Always apply sunscreen.
How long will it take to see results?
Results can vary, but most users see improvements within 4-12 weeks of consistent use.
How should I store the serum?
Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight to maintain its effectiveness.
Is this serum suitable for sensitive skin?
While generally well-tolerated, it is recommended to perform a patch test before full application, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Reduce frequency of use or mix the serum with a moisturizer to dilute. If irritation persists, discontinue use.
