FAQ
While it contains beneficial ingredients like niacinamide, the inclusion of retinol and fragrance may make it unsuitable for very sensitive skin. It's recommended to patch test first or consult with a dermatologist.
If you are new to retinol, start by using this cream 2-3 times a week and gradually increase frequency as your skin builds tolerance. Once tolerated, it can be used nightly.
It's generally best to avoid using other strong actives like AHAs, BHAs, or other retinoids in the same routine when using this cream to minimize potential irritation. Focus on hydration and barrier support.
