Hey looking for advice on oil filled spots! Not necessarily oily skin, just these patches.

Hey! Have you tried our Blemish Control Gel? This can be used in your evening routine after cleansing. It helps to exfoliate the skin and reduce the appearance of blemishes 💙

It depends if you are near an indoor UV light or natural sunshine. In full sunshine, I would apply it just under every two hours. As you can see in my profile photo, I also wear a UVF hat if I am in direct sunlight.

Hey! For maximum protection we recommend to re-apply sun protection every 2-3 hours. 💙

How much encapsulated retinol is in the resurfacing retinol serum? Is it suitable for use for someone who has been using a prescribed retinol or is it likely to not be as effective?

Strength is not always the most important thing in a topical retinoid, unless you have severe stage 4 acne or the like. It is better to find a serum you are happy with & suits your skin.🌹

@Pocketminxuk and @Katy Yes, Pocketminxuk is right. Unsupervised use of a prescription retinoid or similar can cause severe irritation. Unfortunately, such things are now available online, and can be harmful.

Hello. I'd like to ask a question regarding SPF and children. I've read on the community that to effectively remove SPF we should use double cleansing. What happens when we are talking about children's skin? I would presume that a if a regular cleanser isn't enough for adults, will a children's product dissolve and remove the solar filters? I'd appreciate feedback on this, thank you in advance

I NEED this. I read the ingredients and do not want to wait to have it on the UK SITE. At my age, I can’t afford time. Can I test this if I buy it myself, please? I am one of the septuagenarian members of the CeraVe community.
