Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the difference between the 1.0% and 1.7% concentrations?

The percentage refers to the concentration of pure Retinol in the concentrate. The 1.0% is an excellent starting point for products targeting consumers new to retinol or with sensitive skin. The 1.7% is a higher potency option for more advanced, targeted treatments designed for experienced users seeking more intensive results.

Pure Retinol is highly unstable and degrades quickly when exposed to air and light, losing its efficacy. Our product is stabilized through encapsulation or suspension in protective antioxidant-rich bases and should be formulated into opaque, airtight packaging to ensure a long shelf life and maximum potency.

Why is stability so important for Retinol, and how is it achieved?

Yes, especially when first introduced. It is a potent active that can cause dryness, redness, and flaking (often called "retinization"). This is why it is crucial to start with lower concentrations and advise consumers to use it gradually, followed by a moisturizer and daily sunscreen.

Can Retinol cause skin irritation?

No. Retinol is best used in a night-time routine. It can increase the skin's sensitivity to UV radiation. Using it during the day without supreme sun protection can increase the risk of sunburn and counteract its benefits. Daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen is non-negotiable with retinol use.

Should Retinol be used during the day?

Yes, when formulated correctly at appropriate concentrations. The skin around the eyes is thinner and more sensitive, so formulations for this area should use a lower percentage of retinol and include ample soothing and moisturizing ingredients to mitigate potential irritation.
