Will the Vitamin A Serum work for sensitive skin or cause irritation?

The Skincare Company Vitamin A Serum is formulated with a gentle concentration of retinol, making it suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. If you're new to Vitamin A or have sensitive skin, start by applying it every third night and gradually increase to nightly use as your skin builds tolerance. Always follow with a moisturizer to help minimize dryness or irritation, and use sunscreen during the day, as Vitamin A can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.

How long does one bottle of the Vitamin A Serum last with regular use?

Most customers find that one bottle of The Skincare Company Vitamin A Serum lasts about 8-12 weeks when used as directed (a pea-sized amount, once daily at night). Its concentrated formula means a little goes a long way. For best results and to avoid wastage, apply to clean, dry skin after cleansing and before moisturizing.

Can I use the Vitamin A Serum with my other skincare products?

Yes, the Vitamin A Serum is designed to fit easily into your evening routine. After cleansing, apply the serum, let it absorb, then follow with your favorite moisturizer. If you also use exfoliating acids or Vitamin C products, it's best to alternate nights to avoid over-exfoliating and reduce potential irritation. Always read the ingredient list if you have specific allergies, and patch test before first use for extra confidence.

So good! sinks in really quickly

This has a lovely lightweight, creamy, silky texture which I like. I have rosacea and I find it is not making it worse, but the thickened areas of my skin eg chin, sides of nose, are smoother and look improved. I think it goes really well under the daily mositeriser.

This is a such a lovely product - light, creamy & absorbs quickly. I use it at nighttime before my hydrating moisturiser. My skin has never felt or looked better!

sits beautiful on the skin I put it on of a night after I cleanse before bed and wake up to brighter, fresher looking skin the improvement in the redness and and texture is brilliant LOVE

Not heavy or oily. Sits well on skin. Creamy and silky. One pump is all you need.

All these products are amazing and this one is no different - nice texture, quick to sink in for the next step and no irritants.

After using this over night my skin was noticeably softer and I didn't wake up with oily skin.

Love it! So gentle with no irritation and all the actives my skin needs. Love that it is so moisturising ?

Absolutely adore these products! Have been using them for two years + and its the only routine I have ever stuck to. Recently turned 40 and always receive compliments on my skin. A+

Absorbs so quickly, gentle, yet effective. One pump is all you need. One thing (amongst many others!) is that although the products are initially $$$, they last for so long, so in fact they end up being a very reasonably priced product. You really do pay for what you get! You wont regret any purchases from this brand. From initially trying the travel pack, I have now invested in the entire skin care range and have not been disappointed at all. I'm even converting my husband to try them!
