Frequently asked questions
Does this serum contain retinol?
The active retinoid is Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR), a retinoid from the same family as retinol. It is used for the same goals, smoother-looking texture and fewer visible fine lines, and is generally considered lower in irritation potential.
How often should I use it?
Start 2–3 evenings a week. If your skin stays comfortable after two weeks, move to every other night, then nightly as tolerated.
Can I use it with vitamin C?
Yes. Use a vitamin C serum such as FeruVita CErum in the morning and this serum at night.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Patch test before first use and start slowly. Mild dryness or flaking can happen in the first weeks of any retinoid. Stop use if irritation persists.
Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Retinoids are generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Check with your doctor before use.
When will I see results?
Many people notice smoother-looking texture in about 4 weeks. Fine lines usually take 8–12 weeks of consistent use. Individual results vary.
