FAQ

The fast answers people actually need

Is this moisturizer suitable for sensitive skin?

While it's formulated without harsh ingredients, the fragrance might be a concern for very sensitive skin. It's generally well-tolerated, but a patch test is always recommended.

Can I use this if I'm already using a retinol serum?

It's generally not recommended to use this moisturizer with a retinol serum on the same night, as it could lead to over-exfoliation or irritation. However, you could alternate nights or use this moisturizer on nights you skip retinol.

What is the 'retinol alternative' in this product?

The 'retinol alternative' refers to the combination of ingredients like Palmitoyl Grapevine Shoot Extract and Khaya Senegalensis Bark Extract (vegan collagen alternative) that work to firm and smooth skin without the potential irritation associated with traditional retinol.
