Frequently Asked Questions
- How soon will I see results? Most see improved skin texture and clarity in just 4 weeks, with deeper anti-ageing and pigmentation changes by 10–12 weeks of nightly use.
- Is this safe for oily or combination skin? Yes! Its lightweight, non-comedogenic formula makes it perfect for SA’s humid summers and drier winters alike.
- Can I use this when pregnant or breastfeeding? Please consult with your doctor before using any retinol product during pregnancy or while nursing.
- How do I store it in hot or humid climates? Keep the pump tightly closed, out of direct sunlight or steamy bathrooms, and away from car heat.
- Can I pair this with other actives? Yes—combine with hyaluronic acid or vitamin C in the morning. Avoid layering with strong chemical exfoliants on the same night.
- Does it cause peeling? Mild flaking is normal as your skin adjusts in the first 1-3 weeks. Moisturising helps. Reduce frequency if peeling is uncomfortable.
- Is it good for dark spots or acne scars? Absolutely—retinol encourages faster cell turnover and collagen rebuilding to fade marks and improve texture.
- Is this suitable for South African skin of all tones? Yes! It’s clinically tested and effective for all Fitzpatrick skin types, including deeper tones, without causing light spots.
- How does it compare to other retinols in SA? Its 0.5% strength delivers more profound results than basic over-the-counter creams, with minimal risk of irritation thanks to advanced delivery technology and bisabolol.
