FAQ
Dull skin and texture questions
What is the difference between dull-looking skin and hyperpigmentation?
Dull-looking skin describes a general lack of radiance, while hyperpigmentation refers to distinct areas of uneven-looking pigment. If spots or post-blemish marks are your main concern, shop Dark Spots & Hyperpigmentation.
Do I need an exfoliant for dull-looking skin?
Not necessarily. A hydrating or brightening-format step may fit your routine better. If you choose an exfoliant, follow its directions and consider your tolerance.
Can I use vitamin C, acids and retinol in the same routine?
Compatibility depends on the complete formulas, directions and your tolerance. Avoid assuming they must be combined, and seek professional guidance when needed.
How long does skincare take to change the appearance of dullness or texture?
There is no fixed timeline. Results vary by formula, routine consistency and individual skin, so follow the product guidance without relying on a guaranteed result date.
Which route should sensitive skin start with?
There is no universal route. Review the full formula and directions, introduce one product at a time where appropriate, and consider professional advice for persistent sensitivity.
