Ask the Expert: Q&A with Our Esthetician
Stephanie Klasse, our in-house esthetician, is answering some commonly asked questions about skin care products & skin care routines.
What is Rosehip Oil and what does it do?
Shop Rosehip Oil
Do I need to wash off my PM skin care in the morning or can I just apply my morning products without cleansing?
What do I do if my skin feels dry after using retinol?
- Cleanse & tone the skin & allow it to fully dry. If your skin is very sensitive, wait a full 10 minutes.
- Apply your moisturizer or a bit of Argan Oil or Rosehip Seed Oil to the skin & allow it to absorb.
- Use a pea sized amount of retinol product & evenly dot it around the face, avoiding the eye and mouth area, & massage it into the skin.
- Let it absorb for 5 or more minutes.
- Top with your moisturizer or oil to ‘sandwich’ the retinol serum in between the moisturizing products. It’s good to finish your retinol skin care routine with plenty of nourishing moisture to help protect the skin. (I apply my Argan Oil LIBERALLY on retinol nights.)
It’s important to start slowly with retinol. Use it 1-2 times your first week, 2-3 times the next week & so on. If you feel your skin is too dry you can cut back a day in your weekly routine.
In which order do I apply my products?
Hyaluronic Acid can make products penetrate more deeply when it’s under your other skin care products. If your skin is sensitive, add the Hyaluronic Acid after your more active serums.
Don’t stress about order of application, especially when it comes to your serums. Just getting them on the skin is what really matters.
All of goPure's moisturizers can be used day and night, with the exception of the Retinol Night Cream (which should only be used at night).
How do I know what to use during the day and what to use at night?
Do I use my Original Serums and Active Serums together?
However, if you have a mix of the individual serums, for example an Original Vitamin C Serum & the Actives Hydrate & Smooth Serum, then you can use both together. But if you have the Trio Sets of each, then it's best to stick with one option.
Can I mix my serums together before applying them?
The Retinol Serum & the Firm and Lift Serum should be applied on DRY skin. The other serums are best applied on damp skin.

Hi.
I’m in love with these products, however, I now have a big red patch on my left cheek and I don’t know if it’s the retinol causing this or another serum? I use the trio (vit c, hyaluronic acid, and retinol) and the anti-wrinkle moisturizer. I have stopped putting any on that patch of red but it’s slow to go away and it’s dry. Which one caused this, and what can I do to speed healing please and thank you?

Hello Shonna,
Thank you for reaching out and we’re very sorry for the inconvenience.
Retinol can be drying to some of our customers’ skin so we would suggest that you stop using the Retinol product in the evening and follow the daytime routine at night instead and see if your skin feels more hydrated. Please keep us posted so we can get the correct routine and or products for your skin type!
Thank you, Maine gopure beauty
