Can I Use Micro-Retinol Essential Moisturizer Every Day?

Yes, you can use the Micro-Retinol Essential Moisturizer daily, though we recommend a gradual introduction for those new to retinol.

While traditional retinol can be unstable, we utilize advanced micronized technology to stabilize the ingredient, making it far more skin-friendly and effective for daily use.

This ‘multiple-products-in-one’ formula is packed with marine collagen, elastin, and vitamin C, allowing you to achieve optimal skin-renewing results every day without overwhelming your complexion.

To get the most out of your retinol while protecting your skin, follow these simple guidelines:

• Avoid doubling up: Do not use alongside other retinoids or retinol-based products to prevent irritation and overexposure.
• Ease into your routine: When introducing retinol, pause other exfoliating treatments such as AHAs and BHAs until your skin has fully adjusted.
• Plan ahead for waxing: Always inform your esthetician if you are using retinol. As a general rule, stop using it 7-14 days before waxing and wait a few days after your treatment before reintroducing it.
• Protect with SPF: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day to shield against UV and blue light damage.

Will the Micro-Retinol Essential Moisturizer Cause Irritation or Peeling?

Our moisturizer with retinol is specifically formulated to renew without irritation. By stabilizing the active and blending it with ingredients like squalane and hyaluronic acid, moisture content is supported throughout the resurfacing process.

Do I Need to Wear Sunscreen with This Retinol Moisturizer?

It’s recommended to wear sunscreen with SPF 30+ daily when using any retinol product. Because retinol promotes cell renewal, the fresh skin cells could be more susceptible to damage. To protect your results and your skin from harmful UV rays and blue light, always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning and reapply throughout the day.

Can I Use This Moisturizer with Retinol While Pregnant?

You should not use the Micro-Retinol Essential Moisturizer, or any products containing retinol or retinoids while pregnant or nursing.

Although we use skin-friendly, stabilized technologies, medical professionals universally recommend avoiding vitamin A derivatives during pregnancy.

We suggest consulting with your physician regarding your skincare routine during this time and considering one of our other botanical-based lines, such as the Sensitive Skin collection, based on their recommendation

Can I Layer Micro-Retinol Essential Moisturizer with Other Skincare Products?

Yes, you can layer this moisturizer with other products, but you should avoid using it alongside other retinoids or harsh exfoliating acids like AHAs and BHAs. Doubling up on these active ingredients may trigger irritation while your skin is adjusting.

Additionally, if you plan on facial waxing, it’s recommended to stop using your retinol moisturizer 7 to 14 days before your appointment and wait several days after to resume, as the resurfacing nature of retinol makes the skin more delicate during professional treatments.
