Questions & answers

Can beginners use this product?

This is a high-strength retinol; beginners should start with a lower concentration (like 0.2% or 0.5%) before moving to 1%.

Will it cause peeling or irritation?

Retinol can cause dryness, redness, or peeling at first. Start slow and use moisturizer to minimize irritation.

Is this safe for sensitive skin?

If you have sensitive skin, consider using a lower-strength retinol or buffering it with moisturizer.

Do I need to wear sunscreen?

Yes! Retinol increases sun sensitivity, so always wear SPF 30 or higher during the day.

Can I use this with Vitamin C?

No, it’s best to use Vitamin C in the morning and retinol at night to avoid irritation.
