Frequently asked questions
Is this real retinol?
No - it's a plant-based botanical alternative to retinol (commonly compared to bakuchiol) that offers a gentle renewal step inspired by retinol-style routines.
Can I use it during the day?
Yes. It can sit in either a morning or evening routine. In the morning, finish with your preferred sunscreen.
Can I use it with stronger active products?
Introduce one active-feeling product at a time and keep the rest of the routine simple. If your skin already feels unsettled, pause and return to cleanser, serum and moisturiser basics.
How often should I use it?
Start 3 times per week and build up only if your skin feels comfortable. Sensitive-feeling skin may prefer a slower rhythm.
Where is it made?
Handcrafted in New Zealand.
Clean. Calm. Naturally beautiful.
