Question 1

Can i use this with paula's choice 2% bha liquid exfoliant in the same routine?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can combine actives as long as you don't experience irritation - always listen to your skin. Our Retinol Serum 2.5% can be used as a part of a regimen with a BHA.  We recommend one in AM & one in PM use or if you are going to use them together, you slowly incorporate to build up a tolerance and wait a few minutes between applications.

Question 3

I keep reading that 1% is the highest otc retinol concentration. This is labeled 2.5%. Is this product that much stronger than other otc retinols?

Accepted Answer

Our Retinol Cream contains a proprietary 2.5% complex of a photostable, synergistic blend of encapsulated retinol, a natural bio-retinol and bakuchiol, a plant-derived retinol alternative that nourishes skin while diminishing the look of fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and uneven texture.

Question 4

What's the difference between the retinol serum and cream?

Accepted Answer

Both formats provide customized use in a skin care regimen. The main difference is that our Retinol Serum 2.5% is a hydrogel system while our Retinol Cream is an emulsion. Our serum is a water-based treatment while the cream has more moisturizing qualities. If tolerated, you may layer serum and then cream for enhanced benefits. We always advise a patch test before use and SPF in the morning.
