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.
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.
In what ways can I use Argan Oil?

I know goPure doesn’t sell sunscreen but is there a particular brand that you recommend for dry mature skin? I use the active products for skin care and adding more items as I can but I really need a good sunscreen and appreciate your recommendation. Thank you.

Just received the niacinamide and am wondering where in the process do I incorporate it, before serums or after, morning or night? Thanks

goPure Beauty replied:
You may use the Niacinamide booster serum twice a day, in the morning and at night. You may use it before or after your serums.
I love your products I am wondering how much of everything you should use? This is the first project that I truly can say has helped me. Thank you thank you

Hi Mary,
We created an infographic so you can check how many drops/pumps of the cleanser, toner serums, moisturizer, Eye Gel, and oils do you need for each routine.
We hope this helps! Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any further questions or concerns.
