    Need to Know

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How should I start using this night cream?
    Apply a small amount to the face in the evening and massage until absorbed. If you're newer to retinol, begin a few nights per week and build up gradually, always following with sunscreen the next morning.
    What are PHAs and why are they included?
    PHAs, or polyhydroxy acids like gluconolactone, are gentle exfoliating acids. Pairing them with encapsulated retinol provides smoothing exfoliation while helping to soothe and hydrate, which supports a more comfortable retinol experience.
    What results can I expect and how soon?
    It's designed to refine texture, even tone, and soften the look of pores and fine lines. In the brand's testing, skin smoothness improved by about 29% and tone evenness by 10% over eight weeks of nightly use.
    Why does it use encapsulated retinol?
    The encapsulation with slow-release technology helps deliver retinol gradually, which supports efficacy while minimizing the irritation, dryness, or flaking that can come with traditional retinol.
    Is it safe to use during pregnancy?
    Retinol is typically avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Please pause use and speak with your OB-GYN or dermatologist about the best approach for you.
    Can I use it while pregnant or nursing?
    Retinol is commonly something people are advised to pause during pregnancy and breastfeeding. We recommend checking with your doctor before using it during that time.
