FAQs
Where does this sit in my routine?
Use it in the routine step shown on the label or recommended by your skincare clinician.
Can I combine it with other actives?
Some combinations are helpful, but adding several strong actives at once can irritate. Introduce products gradually.
Do I need SPF with this?
Yes. Daily SPF is important with active skincare and essential with retinoids, acids, brightening products and post-treatment routines.
