Frequently Asked Questions
All skin types! Especially those with combination skin, mild breakouts, or dullness looking for clarity and hydration.
It covers cleansing, exfoliating, treating and daytime protection. The SPF 50 Moisturizing Sunscreen is your morning moisturizer and sunscreen; in the evening, follow the Radiance Serum with a moisturizer of your choice.
How long each product lasts depends on how much you use. The cleanser and serum are used daily, while the Exfoliating Gel is used only 2–3 evenings a week and the SPF 50 in the mornings, so they may last longer.
It's listed as suitable for all skin types, but it contains exfoliating acids (glycolic, lactic, salicylic, mandelic and azelaic). If your skin is sensitive, patch test first, start the Exfoliating Gel once a week, and stop if irritation persists.
Many customers notice smoother, brighter, more even-looking skin within 2–4 weeks of consistent use, with deeper results for dark spots and texture around weeks 6–8 with daily SPF. Individual results vary.
Check with your doctor or dermatologist before combining it with prescription treatments. Don't use retinol/retinoids or other exfoliants the same night as the Exfoliating Gel, and introduce one new product at a time.
