Questions about this product
Frequently asked
Yes. The Slow Glow uses encapsulated, micro-dosed retinol that releases slowly into the skin rather than all at once — dramatically reducing the risk of irritation, peeling, and redness that traditional retinol can cause. It's specifically designed for sensitive and reactive skin.
Start with 1–3 times per week in the evening and gradually increase to nightly use as your skin adjusts. Even at low frequency you will start to see results within 4–6 weeks.
Yes — retinol can increase skin sensitivity to the sun. We strongly recommend applying SPF every morning when using the Slow Glow Serum, even on cloudy days.
We recommend avoiding retinol products during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Please consult your healthcare provider before use.
Yes — they are designed to work together. Apply the Slow Glow Serum first, allow it to absorb for a minute or two, then follow with the Night Cream to seal in moisture and support the skin barrier overnight.
Most customers notice improved texture and radiance within 4–6 weeks. Dark spots and fine lines typically show visible improvement after 8–12 weeks of consistent use. Slow and steady wins the glow.
