Question 1

Hi, is there enough ha in retinal3 or, do i continue to apply my anti aging serum before retinal3 tyia x

Accepted Answer

Crystal Retinal is enriched with a small % of hyaluronic acid and glycerin which provides a sufficient amount of hydration for balanced skins, but for more dehydrated skins we would suggest layering Hydr8 B5 before Crystal Retinal to provide a more intense boost of hydration.

Question 2

Hi, is this suitable for somebody who has never used retinol? Thank you.

Accepted Answer

Yes, Crystal Retinal 3 is suitable for everyone new to Retinaldehyde (Retinal). 
When first using Crystal Retinal, we recommend following our gradual phase-in method: use twice a week for the first 2 weeks, every other night for the next 2 weeks, then every night. You should always use sunscreen in the morning while using vitamin A.

Question 3

I am currently using ha serum + niacinamide serum + moisturiser after applying a low strength retinol. is that the correct order for this product too?

Accepted Answer

Hi There,

Thanks for your question.

We would recommend layering products from lightest to heaviest in texture for optimum penetration. 
So water-based products would go on the skin first, then oil-based serums, then emulsion serums and moisturisers last.

I would recommend following the layering order below:
1. Cleanse
2. Hyaluronic acid serum 
3. Retinol 
4. Niacinamide serum (if it's an emulsion if a water-based serum use it before retinol serum)
5. Moisturiser

I hope this helps and if you have any other questions please do not hesitate to get back in touch.
