Product FAQs
Rule of thumb is to use the thinnest consistency first and follow along with thicker consistency products.
Yes! First let the product(s) absorb before applying both.
When using retinol after cleansing it’s important to wait until skin is dry, approximately 5-10 minutes, to prevent excess irritation and skin dryness/flaking that can occur when product is applied on damp skin.
Overusing retinol may cause dryness, redness or flaking. The first step is to take a day off of retinol. In addition, using a proper moisturizer and hydration booster to nourish and rebalance. Products we recommend to use in tandem with Retinol are our Collagen Boosting Serum, Facial Peptide Cream and our Facial Hydrating Serum.
Once sensitivity has subsided, transition to using retinol 1-2 times a week and gradually increase to find a nice balance that works for you. A tip to prevent sensitivity is sandwiching retinol serum in between a moisturizer instead of putting directly on top of your skin.
Retinol can be used cautiously on the neck and chest but start slowly. Dilute the retinol with a moisturizer and adjust accordingly.
Vitamin C can be used on most skin types. Using Vitamin C every morning helps prevent damage from both UV and pollution associated with free radicals. Vitamin C can help brighten skin and improve uneven skin tone. Applying an antioxidant such as Vitamin C to the skin can reduce collagen breakdown and reveal a more youthful complexion.
Vitamin C can be used in the morning, but can also be used in combination with an Alpha Hydroxy Acid or other skin brightener at bedtime. We recommend using our Vitamin C serum in tandem with our Collagen Boosting Serum and Facial Peptide Cream.
