Frequently Asked Questions

Is this serum suitable for beginners?

Yes. Its combination of Pure Retinol with soothing Niacinamide makes it suitable for beginners. Start by using it 2–3 nights per week before increasing frequency. 

Can I use it every night?

Yes, once your skin has built tolerance. Begin gradually to minimize irritation. 

Can I use it with Vitamin C?

Yes, but it’s generally recommended to use Vitamin C in the morning and Retinol B3 Serum at night to reduce the chance of irritation.

Can I use it with exfoliating acids?

Avoid using strong AHAs, BHAs, or other retinoids in the same routine unless advised by a dermatologist, as this may increase skin sensitivity.

Do I need sunscreen while using this serum?

Yes. Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential because retinol increases the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight. 

Can I use it during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

No. As a precaution, products containing retinol should not be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
