FAQs
What makes DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 0.3% different from other retinol serums?
DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 0.3% stands out by combining four different forms of retinoids with Allosteris, a cutting-edge retinoid amplifier, ensuring maximum efficacy with minimal irritation. Unlike other retinol serums, it uses a microencapsulation delivery system to release active ingredients slowly over time, giving your skin gradual rejuvenation without the typical retinol-induced dryness or sensitivity. This makes it suitable for users looking to increase their retinol potency while avoiding the harsh side effects usually associated with stronger retinoids.
How often should I use DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 0.3%?
It's recommended to start using the serum 2-3 times a week to allow your skin to adjust. Gradually increase usage as your skin builds tolerance, with the goal of applying it every night. Since this product contains a higher strength of retinol (0.3%), it’s important to monitor your skin for any signs of sensitivity. Always follow up with sunscreen during the day, as retinol can make the skin more sensitive to UV exposure.
Is DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 0.3% suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the formula is specifically designed to be suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. The microencapsulation technology and soothing ingredients such as bakuchiol ensure that the powerful effects of retinoids are delivered in a controlled and gentle manner. However, those with very sensitive skin should introduce it slowly into their routine and start with patch testing to ensure compatibility.
Can I combine DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 0.3% with other skincare products?
Yes, this retinol serum can be combined with other products, but it’s essential to be cautious. Avoid layering it with other exfoliants like AHAs, BHAs, or other retinoids, as this may increase sensitivity or irritation. For best results, pair this serum with a gentle cleanser, hydrating serums or moisturisers, and always use a high SPF sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from sun damage.
What results can I expect from using DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 0.3%?
Regular use of DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 0.3% will improve skin texture and tone, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and diminish dark spots and discolouration. Thanks to its advanced delivery system, you’ll notice smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin without the downtime typically associated with high-strength retinoids. Results typically become visible after 4-6 weeks of consistent use.
Is DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 0.3% safe to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
No, retinoids, including retinaldehyde and retinol, are generally not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to potential risks. It’s best to consult your healthcare provider before using any retinol products during these periods.
Can I use this serum during the day?
It’s best to use DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 0.3% at night, as retinoids can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Applying it before bed ensures the retinoid works while your skin is in its natural repair phase. If you use it during the day, you must apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin from UV damage.
Will DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 0.3% cause peeling or redness?
Some users may experience mild peeling, redness, or dryness when first introducing the product due to the retinol content. This is a normal part of the skin’s adjustment process. To minimise irritation, start with a lower frequency of application and gradually increase as your skin builds tolerance. You can also pair it with a hydrating serum or moisturiser to soothe and protect the skin barrier.
