Is this a day cream? I thought that retinol doesn't work during the day if it comes into contact with the sun?

No, +Retinol Vitamin C Moisturizer should be used as instructed, PM only.

What is the difference between this and +Retinol Vitamin C Serum?

While both are excellent products, +Retinol Vitamin C Moisturizer offers moisturization properties not provided by the serum. The serum is an excellent option for individuals who have oily skin but still want the benefits of Retinol.

I have never used +Retinol before. As a beginner, should I start with the moisturizer or serum?

As a beginner to Retinol, we recommend using the +Retinol Vitamin C Moisturizer first. This product offers moisturizing benefits to combat the drying and flaking commonly seen when skin is newly adjusting to Retinol usage. Use product 1-2x a week.

I have the +Retinol Vitamin C Serum. Do you use that under the moisturizer or are they separately used?

More does not mean better. Retinol is a strong active that can also cause dryness and flaking of skin. We recommend alternating usage of these products, i.e. +Retinol Vitamin C Moisturizer on one evening and +Retinol Vitamin C Power Serum on another.

Does it help for hyperpigmentation?

Yes! Retinol and Vitamin C are well known actives with brightening benefits. Retinol helps to increase skin cell turnover which thereby results in a diminished appearance of discoloration and spots. Vitamin C works to brighten and even skin tone!

Great Quality

Gentle on the skin. Feels very deluxe and has weight to it which I really like! I have very sensitive skin and I’ve had no breakouts so far since using this product. It’s very moisturising and thick and I’ve noticed my skin feels softer and plumper.

This stuff is magical!

I have always had pretty good skin, so I haven't experimented with products much. I have noticed lately, as I am nearing 40, that my skin wasn't looking so hot anymore. Just dull and dry, and, well, older. I've used Kate's face wash for a while, so I decided to check out her anti-aging stuff.I never thought I would pay this much for a face cream, but holy cow, is it worth every penny! I swear, my skin looks about 10 years younger, and I've only used it twice.It is a tad bit drying for me, so I am only using it 2x per week for now. The rest of the week I use a heavy duty moisturizing night cream. It's pretty incredible - I would recommend this product 100%!
