- Is Crystal Retinal 6 suitable for sensitive skin?
- It can suit sensitive skin, but only after building tolerance at a lower Crystal Retinal strength. Start twice a week and increase slowly. Stop if redness or stinging persists.
- How does it compare with Crystal Retinal 3 or 10?
- The 6 sits between them: stronger than 3, gentler than 10. Choose 3 if you are new to retinal, 6 if you have used vitamin A before, and 10 only with well-established tolerance.
- When should I apply it?
- Use it at night on clean, dry skin, then follow with moisturizer. Daily sunscreen the next morning is essential, since vitamin A increases sun sensitivity.
- Can I use it with other actives?
- Avoid layering it with strong acids, benzoyl peroxide or other retinoids on the same night. Alternate nights or use a simple hydrating routine while your skin adjusts.
- What is in the formula?
- Encapsulated retinaldehyde with hyaluronic acid for hydration, plus supporting ingredients in a lightweight serum base. It contains no added fragrance.
- How long until I see results?
- Most users notice smoother texture within four to six weeks, with fine lines and firmness improving over three months of consistent use.
