How to Use in a routine

Only use Retinol in your PM routine

As Retinol speeds up skin renewal, newer skin reaches the surface quicker. This can increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun. That's why we recommended only using Retinol in the PM and always using a broad spectrum sunscreen during the day. Apply SPF as the last step in your AM skincare routine.

How often to use Retinol

If you are new to Retinol, start off using it 1-2 times per week and increase gradually if your skin can tolerate more frequent use. We suggest introducing new products slowly so that you can easily identify any source of irritation.

Layering moisturizers after Retinol

We recommend using a moisturizer after layering Retinol into your skincare routine. This is due the fact Retinol can have drying effects on our skin. If you’re only just starting out and your skin is on a sensitive side, you could apply Retinol on top of moisturizer to minimize the risk of dehydration.

When to start using Retinol

We recommend starting at age 25, or when the first signs of aging begin to show.

Products you should avoid using with Retinol;

AHAs : It is not recommended to use Retinol and Alpha Hydroxy Acids (Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Apple Cider Vinegar, AHA) at the same time as this can lead over exfoliation and sensitised skin so alternate and use on different nights.

Vitamin C : Avoid mixing Vitamin C & Retinol products at the same time. We suggest using Vitamin C in your AM routine and Retinol in your PM routine.

Seeing results from using Retinol

Retinol can take up to six weeks to start showing results. This is due to the time it takes for your skin cells to be replaced. Consistency is key, so continue with you routine even if you’re not seeing the effects straight away. It can be very tempting to increase use of some products to try and see quicker results, don't overdo it though. More is not always better change for future. Overuse can cause irritation and sensitivity.

Wonderful products!!
I have highly sensitive skin, and I have had trouble for years. The skin around my eyes, in particular. I use the oat wash and caffeine eye cream in the morning and the retinol eye cream in the evening. I have been using these products for about 4 months without any irritation whatsoever :) My skin is SO soft and lines have definitely disappeared!

Great for beginners
This is my first time trying retinol and my biggest fear was the purging process. Luckily, I didn't experience that however the smell of the retinol serum is quite pungent. Both the serum and eye cream felt gentle and I didn't break out. The retinol serum packaging can be messy around the screw cap so I usually try to wipe it so it doesn't get everywhere.

Great combo
The retinol serum is very watery and comes out fast so be mindful! Great under eye treatment.
