If your skin is sensitive, this cream may still be possible to use, but it should be introduced cautiously. It contains retinol, which is effective for improving the appearance of texture and visible ageing signs, but it can also cause dryness, tightness, peeling or stinging when skin is not used to it. Tea tree oil is another active ingredient that some people tolerate well and others find irritating.
A practical way to start is to patch test first, for example on a small area of the jawline, and wait to see whether redness, itching or burning develops. If the skin feels comfortable, use the cream a few mornings per week rather than daily at the beginning. Applying it to completely dry skin and avoiding additional exfoliating acids or scrubs in the same routine can also reduce the chance of irritation.
The formula does contain barrier-supporting moisturisers such as glycerin, mineral oil, petrolatum and caprylic/capric triglyceride, which can help counter the drying feel that may come with retinol. Even so, tolerance is individual, and more is not better with retinol products.
Do not apply it to broken, freshly shaved or visibly irritated skin. If discomfort continues after you reduce frequency, stop using it and choose a simpler moisturiser until your skin feels settled. If you have an ongoing skin condition or use prescription topical products, check with a dermatologist or pharmacist before adding this cream.
