FAQs
Who is this night cream for?
This cream is ideal for experienced Retinal users and those seeking to address signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.
How often should I use the cream?
Start with 2-3 times a week and gradually increase the frequency as your skin tolerates it.
Can I use this cream if I have sensitive skin?
While the formula is designed to be well-tolerated, it is potent. It is recommended to start slowly and monitor your skin's reaction. If you have very sensitive skin, consult with a dermatologist before use.
What should I do if my skin becomes irritated?
Reduce the frequency of use, and consider mixing the cream with a moisturizer. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
Do I need to use sunscreen with this cream?
Yes, always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher during the day, as Retinaldehyde increases sun sensitivity.
How long does it take to see results?
Results vary, but many users see improvements in skin texture and a reduction in fine lines within a few weeks of consistent use.
Can I use this cream with other skincare products?
Yes, but avoid using it with other harsh exfoliants or retinoids simultaneously to prevent irritation. Consult with a dermatologist if unsure.
How should I store the night cream?
Store it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. Make sure to close the container tightly after each use.
Troubleshooting
Skin irritation, redness, or peeling
Reduce frequency of use. Mix with a moisturizer to buffer. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
