FAQs

What is DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 0.6% and how does it work?

DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 0.6% is a medium-strength retinol serum designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, and rough skin texture. It utilises microencapsulated retinol, plant stem cells, and peptides to deliver potent rejuvenation benefits without the irritation typically associated with retinol. The microencapsulation ensures time-released delivery, allowing the active ingredients to penetrate the skin more effectively while minimising potential side effects.

Who is the DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 0.6% suitable for?

This serum is ideal for individuals looking to address signs of ageing such as fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and rough texture. The 0.6% potency makes it a perfect option for those with some experience using retinoids who are ready for a stronger formulation but still want to avoid the excessive dryness or irritation that can come with high-potency retinoids. It is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

How long will it take to see results with DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 0.6%?

Visible results vary from person to person. However, most users begin to notice improvements in skin texture, tone, and firmness after 4-6 weeks of consistent use. Fine lines and wrinkles typically reduce within 8-12 weeks. Since the serum utilises a microencapsulated, time-released delivery system, its effects continue to build with regular use. Patience and consistency are key for maximum results.

Can I use DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 0.6% alongside other skincare products?

Yes, DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 0.6% can be incorporated into your existing skincare routine, but it’s essential to use it correctly. Avoid using it alongside other potent exfoliants or acids like AHAs or BHAs unless specifically advised by a skincare professional. Always follow up with a moisturiser and apply sunscreen during the day, as retinol can make the skin more sensitive to UV rays.

Will DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 0.6% cause any irritation or redness?

The formula is designed to minimise irritation, thanks to the microencapsulation and soothing botanicals like plant stem cells and peptides. However, as with any retinol product, some mild redness or dryness may occur, especially during the initial weeks of use. If irritation persists, reduce the frequency of application and consult a skincare professional for advice.

Can I use DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 0.6% during the day?

It’s generally recommended to apply retinol products in the evening, as retinol can increase the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight. DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 0.6% should be used as part of your nighttime skincare routine. Make sure to apply a broad-spectrum SPF during the day to protect your skin from UV damage, as retinol makes your skin more vulnerable to the sun.

How do I incorporate DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 0.6% into my skincare routine?

Start by using the serum 2-3 times a week to allow your skin to adjust. Once your skin builds tolerance, you can increase the frequency to every other night or as recommended by your skincare specialist. Apply a pea-sized amount after cleansing and toning, and follow with a hydrating moisturiser. Always use SPF during the day to protect your skin.

Is DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 0.6% cruelty-free and suitable for vegans?

Yes, DermaQuest RiQ Retinol 0.6% is cruelty-free, meaning it is not tested on animals. The product is also suitable for vegans, as it does not contain any animal-derived ingredients.
