        FAQs

        Can I use this product with my Chebula Serum, Vitamin C and/or other exfoliants?

        Our Phyto-Retinol Serum is microbiome-friendly and non-irritating, meaning it can be paired, and used with Vitamin C, exfoliants and other skincare products that one typically needs to avoid when using traditional retinol. We recommend using Chebula Serum in the morning, and Phyto-Retinol Serum in the evening.

        Can I use this product every day if it’s so powerful?

        Yes, you can use this every day. While traditional retinol is known to disrupt the skin barrier - which is what leads to redness and dryness - Peptillium® is clinically proven to significantly improve skin barrier function, so you can use this every day without sensitizing side effects.

        Is this product safe to use during pregnancy?

        Yes! Our Phyto-Retinol Serum is MADE SAFE® Certified, which ensures it is free from over 15,000+ known toxins and has undergone further rigorous testing to ensure it does not contain any ingredients known to or suspected of harming pregnant individuals. For more information, check the MADE SAFE® Healthy Pregnancy Guide.

        We are also proud that this product has earned the Sorette Seal of Approval. That means the formulation has been vetted against Sorette’s No-Go List™, which restricts or prohibits ingredients connected to reproductive, developmental, or endocrine toxicity. The Seal indicates full ingredient disclosure and formulation transparency.

        If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, we always recommend consulting with your doctor before introducing any new skincare products into your routine. Everyone's skin and situation is different, so we cannot take into account your unique needs that may contribute to differentiated standards during your pregnancy or postpartum period.

        How long will the Phyto-Retinol Serum last?

        Each bottle contains approximately 120 uses. When used once daily, it will last about 120 days (or 4 months). Your usage may vary depending on how much you apply, but just a few drops deliver powerful results while being gentle on your skin.
