COMMON QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know.
Yes — this is non-negotiable. Retinol increases photosensitivity. Always apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ the morning after any retinol application, even on cloudy days.
Apply a small amount to the orbital area (below the eyebrow, above the cheekbone) avoiding the immediate eyelid. If your eye area is sensitive, use LUME (peptide eye cream) for that zone only and apply YOUTH everywhere else.
Use them at separate times — YOUTH in the evening, BRIGHT (vitamin C) in the morning. Using retinol and vitamin C simultaneously can cause irritation and reduce efficacy of both.
