I love this duo. There is a slight tingle, but it leaves my skin looking fresh and hydrated in the morning. The eye cream is the best I’ve tried yet, and I’ve tried a lot!
When to apply
Suitable for
Targets
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. Try our SPF 30 Daily Sunscreen to layer into your Retinol 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;
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.
