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?
Rosehip is a pure pressed oil from the seeds of the fruit of specific rose bushes. It is packed with antioxidants, Omegas, & vitamins, like Vitamin A, C, & E. It has been used for centuries & is well tolerated by all skin types. It can improve the appearance of multiple skin concerns including fine lines & wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, & dark spots. It can help skin feel softer & can improve the look of inflammation & help protect against oxidative stress from UV exposure.
It can be used under or over your moisturizer, however I prefer to apply it after my moisturizer to help seal everything in.

Rosehip Oil can be used day or night.

Do I need to wash off my PM skin care in the morning or can I just apply my morning products without cleansing?
Cleansing helps prepare our skin to fully receive & absorb our skin care. Gentle cleaning morning & night helps remove excess dirt, oil, sweat, bacteria, & environmental stressors. There are ingredients, like retinol & glycolic acid, that may be used in our evening routine that can make our skin more sensitive to the sun, so it’s also important to wash those off before applying our morning routine.
What do I do if my skin feels dry after using retinol?
When you begin using a product with retinol, it can make the skin feel more dry or sensitized for a few weeks. This is normal as your skin becomes used to the positive changes that happen from this ingredient. The ‘sandwich method’ can help acclimate your skin to retinol.
How To Use:
- 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.)
Pro Tip:
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?
This all depends on your actual routine. Generally we cleanse, exfoliate, tone, treat with serums, & moisturize. During the day we end with SPF. One rule of thumb that is used is apply your products that have the thinnest consistency to the thickest consistency. I use the rule of water-based products to oil based products.
Pro Tips:
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.

Lightweight oils can go under or over your moisturizer. When it’s underneath, make sure you give it 5 minutes to absorb. Richer oils should go on top of moisturizer.
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?
The rule that works well: Vitamin C & antioxidants during the day, so your Vitamin C Serum or Brighten & Even Serum, plus, your Hyaluronic Acid or Hydrate & Smooth Serum. These help protect your skin from UV radiation from sun exposure.
Use retinol or exfoliate at night. These ingredients can make your skin more sensitive to the sun and UV can actually deactivate retinol.
Do I use my Original Serums and Active Serums together?
These are all amazing products & it’s great if you have them both, however it is best to choose one option each day. You don’t need to use both of the lines at the same time.
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?
It’s best to apply them separately & give them 1-2 minutes to absorb before adding the next one.
Pro Tip:
The Retinol Serum & the Firm and Lift Serum should be applied on DRY skin. The other serums are best applied on damp skin.

Which product is best for reducing a few sun or age brown spots on face? Do I apply it directly to that spot or even on whole face? Thanks!

Hi Theresa, for dark spots/hyperpigmentation, we recommend getting a couple of items under our Uneven skin tone section: https://gopurebeauty.com/collections/uneven-skin-tone
You can also check out this short video of our Esthetician, Stephanie for more tips: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CeRHr-aDsNX/
We recommend applying the products evenly across the entire face.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any further questions or concerns.
Hello Nina,
Thanks for your comment! We are truly sorry to hear about the issue you’re having with our products. We reviewed your order history and it shows that you have previously ordered our neck cream and Power Trio Serum set. Some people find Retinol to be too harsh on their skin. Will you be willing to continue the morning serums but refrain from using the Firm & Lift Serum and see if that helps?
If we find out that it is the one causing the negative reaction, we will be happy to replace it with another goPure product that may work for you.🤗
Best Regards, goPure Beauty
My spot corrector does not have steel balls, as mentioned in some of the published comments. Is something wrong? It still puts out white cream product. Just started to use it less than a week ago.

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
