ADVICE

Hydration vs. Moisture

  • If your skin feels dry despite using moisturizer, you may lack hydration, not moisture.
  • Use a hyaluronic acid serum with ceramides to boost hydration and support your skin barrier.
ADVICE

Managing Melasma

  • Manage melasma with daily tinted sunscreen, retinoids, and targeted lightening ingredients.
  • Cycle these ingredients (3 months on, 1 month off) for optimal results.
ADVICE

Retinoids & Pregnancy

  • Stop using retinoids when pregnant, especially prescription-strength ones.
  • While there's a theoretical risk, topical retinoids pose a low risk to the fetus.
