I believe a skincare regimen should be simple yet effective. This is why I am so passionate about medical-grade skincare and science-backed ingredients. Skincare does not have to be complicated, and I am here to answer all of your frequently asked questions.
Question: Is it normal for the skin to purge when using retinol?
Answer: Yes, you may experience “purging” meaning rapid cell turnover on the skin. This can seem like an adverse reaction, but sometimes the skin needs a little more time to adapt to new products! With most medical grade products, you will not see full results until after one full skin cycle.
Question: How do I know which strength of retinol to use?
Answer: When choosing a concentration for the Retinol + Bakuchiol Serum, we recommend the 2.5x for those with sensitive skin, and for those with no previous retinol experience. The 5x is great for those with previous retinol experience, and the 10x is referred to as our “micropeel,” and it should only be used by those with a history of retinol. It can be used no more than 4-7 times a month.
Question: How can I get rid of acne scars and dark spots?
Answer: I recommend the Hyperpigmentation Collection to help with any dark spots. It contains five core products, each addressing an essential part of a healthy skin care regimen. When used daily, your skin will appear brighter, hydrated, and protected. This collection will help even the skin tone and minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration.
