Frequently asked questions

Ultimate A is typically introduced in the evening as part of your night routine. If you are already using active ingredients such as exfoliating acids or have other potent serums in your routine, it’s important to avoid overlap.

Start by alternating nights and gradually increase frequency as tolerated. This approach supports skin resilience and allows your skin to adjust without unnecessary stress. If you’re unsure how to layer your Vitamin A serum, our customer experience team or a clinic professional can guide you.

Yes. Ultimate A is a suitable starting point for first-time vitamin A users. This retinol serum uses stabilised, liposomally encapsulated retinol, which allows for a more controlled release into the skin. This helps minimise surface irritation while still supporting skin renewal and minimising visible signs of ageing skin.

Some skin may go through an adjustment phase as your skin renews. This can bring underlying congestion to the surface more quickly, which may present as temporary breakouts, dryness, or mild flaking. To support your skin during this period, introduce your retinol vitamin A serum gradually. Focus on maintaining barrier support with a gentle cleanser and a well-formulated moisturiser. Daily broad-spectrum solar protection is also essential, as vitamin A can increase skin sensitivity to UV exposure.

Yes, this retinol serum for sensitive skin is formulated with a stabilised, liposomal form of retinol, which is generally better tolerated than traditional retinol. If you have sensitive or combination skin, you can take our skin quiz and book a professional consult to determine which products fit your needs.

Liposomal retinol is designed to be gentler on the skin. The retinol is wrapped in a protective layer that helps keep it stable and releases it slowly over time. This gradual delivery can help reduce the chances of irritation while still allowing the ingredient to absorb effectively, making it a suitable retinol serum for beginners.

Store this gentle retinol serum in a cool, dry environment, away from heat and direct sunlight. Always close the lid firmly after use to help preserve the formulation.
