Frequently Asked Questions

Is Retinol Brulee suitable for retinol beginners?

Yes. Retinol Brulee is a great entry point for those new to retinol. The inclusion of a plant-based blue algae retinoid (which mimics retinol benefits with reduced irritation potential) alongside a gentle ester form (Retinyl Palmitate) and soothing Willowherb extract makes this a more tolerable retinol serum than many stronger alternatives. Start with 2 to 3 nights per week and build up gradually.
How often should I use Aspect Retinol Brulee?

Aspect recommends gradually incorporating Retinol Brulee into your evening routine. Begin with 2 to 3 applications per week and increase to nightly use as your skin adapts over several weeks. Your Sanctuary Skin Care professional can help you establish the ideal frequency based on your skin type and other actives in your routine.
Can I use Retinol Brulee if I have sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Yes. Retinol Brulee is specifically noted by Aspect as suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin, thanks to its plant-based retinoid and soothing Willowherb content. The formula is designed to deliver retinol benefits while minimising irritation, making it more appropriate for reactive skin than many standard retinol serums.
