- How does this compare with the Retinol Fusion PM face serum?
- It is the body version of the same retinol concept, formulated for larger areas of thicker skin. The face serum is lighter and more concentrated for facial use; this is meant for arms, legs and chest.
- How often should I use it?
- The PM name points to nightly use, but retinol beginners should start two or three nights a week and build up. Stop if skin stings or flakes badly.
- Can I use it with other retinol products?
- Yes, but watch your total load. Using it on the body while a retinol serum goes on the face is common; layering two retinoids on the same skin is where irritation starts.
- Do I need sunscreen with a retinol body lotion?
- Yes. Retinol makes skin more sun-sensitive, and unprotected sun undoes the smoothing you are paying for. Cover exposed arms and legs or use SPF daily.
- Is it safe during pregnancy?
- No. Retinoids are generally avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Ask your doctor and consider a non-retinol body moisturizer instead.
- Where on the body should I apply it?
- Arms, legs, chest and other areas with crepey or sun-damaged skin. Avoid broken skin and keep it off the face, which has its own retinol products.
