FAQs
How often should I use the Retinol Night Cream?
Start by using it 2-3 times a week and gradually increase the frequency as your skin tolerates it. Most people work up to nightly use.
When should I apply the Retinol Night Cream?
Apply the cream at night after cleansing and toning your face.
Can I use this product if I have sensitive skin?
If you have sensitive skin, start slowly and perform a patch test first. Reduce the frequency of use if irritation occurs.
Do I need to use sunscreen with this product?
Yes, it is crucial to use sunscreen every morning when using retinol, as it increases your skin's sensitivity to the sun.
What should I do if my skin becomes dry or flaky?
Use a richer moisturizer and/or reduce the frequency of retinol application. Ensure you are well-hydrated.
How long will it take to see results?
Results can vary, but most people start to see improvements in skin texture and fine lines within 8-12 weeks with consistent use.
Can I use other skincare products with this?
Yes, but avoid using other strong actives like AHAs or BHAs at the same time, especially when starting with retinol. Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer.
How should I store the Retinol Night Cream?
Store the cream in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
