Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I start using retinol serum for the first time?A: Start by using it two to three times a week in the evening to allow your skin to adjust. Over a few weeks, build up to nightly use if your skin tolerates it well. Always follow with SPF in the morning.

Q: Can I use a retinol serum if I have sensitive skin?A: Yes, with care. Start with a lower frequency and always moisturise after applying. If irritation occurs, reduce how often you use it and give your skin time to adjust before increasing again.
