How is this serum different from your other serums?- Our 10% Niacinamide Oil Control & Smoothing Serum is the first serum in our assortment that is specifically formulated to reduce the appearance of large pores. In addition, this serum controls excess oil and improves the look of breakouts, texture and redness.
Can I use this product if I have sensitive skin?- Yes, but we recommend that you perform a patch test first on your chin or forehead for sensitive skin types. Sensitive skin types should also start with applications every other day. A slight tingling sensation is normal. To reduce the chance of irritation, mix with a moisturizer!
Can I mix this serum with other products?- Yes! We love to mix it with other hydrating serums and moisturizers. Cocktail with your favorite moisturizer for a boost of hydration! However, we don’t recommend mixing it with other exfoliating serums or treatments such as those with AHA’s, BHA’s, Retinols or Benzoyl Peroxide.
Can I use Retinol-based products while using this product?- Yes, however, we recommend that you do not use Retinol-based products at the same time of the day as using our product. We recommend using our product in the morning and the Retinol product in the evening, or, if you are just starting out or have more sensitive skin, use our product and the retinol product on alternate days. If your skin is stinging, burning, or is overly dry, you should discontinue using Retinol-based products while using this product.
Can this serum be used daily?- Yes, it can! Sensitive skin types should start out with applications every other day.
Do I use this in the morning or at night?- You can use this serum in the morning or night! If you are using it in the morning, follow with an SPF.
Is this product artificial fragrance-free?- Yes! The scent in this product is derived from the natural essential oil Tea Tree. This allows the product to give a pleasant aroma without artificial fragrance.
Are your products tested on animals?- No. We take pride in being a cruelty-free company!
If I took your Skin Quiz and none of these products were suggested, does that mean that I shouldn’t use them?- While our product recommendations are carefully selected for the needs of a specific type of skin to give the best results, many people will modify their routine with other products as needed. If you feel this product could be right for you, we encourage you to try it!
