Questions, answered
Before you buy
How do I start?
Start 2 to 3 nights a week, follow with the Hydrator and build up as your skin adjusts. Patch test first, and stop using it if irritation continues.
Do I need SPF?
Yes. Retinoids can make skin more sensitive to the sun, so wear SPF every morning.
Can I use it with vitamin C?
A simple split is CE Ferulic in the morning and Retinal at night.
When will I see results?
Texture and tone can start to look smoother over several weeks of consistent use. Individual results vary.
Is this a prescription product?
No. It's a cosmetic retinoid serum, not a prescription medicine. If you use a prescription retinoid or have a skin condition, talk to your doctor before adding it.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
Ask your doctor before using any retinoid if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
