Frequently asked questions

Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding?
It contains a retinoid, so check with your physician first if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding or planning a pregnancy.

Do I need sunscreen?
Yes. It contains an AHA, which can make skin more sensitive to the sun. Use sunscreen daily, and for a week after you stop.

Can I use it with other exfoliants?
Using several exfoliating products together can irritate skin. Ask us how to build it into your routine.
