(How should I apply the Antioxidant Retinol Serum?) Apply 1–2 pumps to cleansed, dry skin morning and/or evening – ideally after toner. Allow to absorb before applying a moisturizer such as the Rejuvenating Face Cream if needed. The serum can also be used as an oil-free night treatment.
(Who is the Antioxidant Retinol Serum suitable for?) Suitable for all skin types – especially mature, sensitive, blemish-prone, or skin already stressed by active ingredients. The formula is gentle, effective, and designed for maximum tolerance.
(What does “hypoallergenic” mean for this product?) The formula is designed for sensitive skin – free from essential oils, drying alcohols, and irritating preservatives. The fragrance is hypoallergenic, minimally dosed, and dermatologically tested.
(What makes this serum “clean”?) huut. excludes mineral oils, PEGs, silicones, parabens, synthetic fragrances, hormone-disrupting substances, microplastics, drying alcohols, crosslinked ingredients such as crosspolymers, isoparaffins, propanediol and phenoxyethanol. The formula is 100% clean – based on functional, dermatologically safe ingredients with proven efficacy.
(What is the effect of retinol in this serum?) The serum contains 0.9% encapsulated retinyl acetate – a modern, highly tolerable form of retinol. Encapsulation protects the active, prevents oxidation, and allows a slow, even release into deeper skin layers. This reduces wrinkles, improves skin texture, and stimulates collagen production – without the irritation of traditional retinol products.
(Is encapsulated retinol as effective as regular retinol?) Yes – encapsulated retinol such as retinyl acetate works in the skin just like traditional retinol but with significantly better tolerance. The delayed release reduces irritation, especially in sensitive or pre-stressed skin.
(Can I use the serum morning and evening?) Yes – thanks to its modern encapsulation, the serum is especially well tolerated and suitable for use both morning and evening. With regular use, it visibly improves skin texture, strengthens skin immunity, and reduces blemishes and wrinkles – without irritation.
(The serum pills on my skin – what’s the reason?) Pilling is not a quality defect but a sign of application error or incompatibility in layering. To avoid it: 1. Less is more – the serum is highly concentrated and should be applied in a thin layer. 2. Allow 1–2 minutes between serum and subsequent care so it can fully absorb. 3. Pilling often occurs when water-based and oil-based textures are applied too quickly in succession or when the skin has not been adequately cleansed before application. The serum is water-based – follow with a compatible, non-heavy moisturizer. For maximum compatibility, we recommend combining with huut. products.
(What role does vitamin E play in the serum?) Vitamin E at 0.7% protects against free radicals, improves barrier function, supports regeneration, and significantly boosts the efficacy of retinol. Together with niacinamide and zinc, it strengthens skin immunity and reduces microinflammation.
(What is the effect of niacinamide in the serum?) Niacinamide at 0.3% regulates sebum, reduces inflammation, strengthens the skin barrier, and calms redness. It supports collagen production and helps refine skin texture – without risk of irritation.
(What does zinc do in the serum?) Zinc at 0.34% is antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and supports skin healing. It regulates sebum production and is particularly effective for blemishes, redness, and compromised skin barriers.
(Why is the serum also suitable for UV-stressed or over-treated skin?) The combination of encapsulated retinol, vitamin E, zinc, and niacinamide strengthens the skin barrier, reduces irritation, and supports regeneration. The serum is therefore ideal after acid peels, retinoid treatments, inadequate cleansing before application, or for sun-stressed skin.
(When will I see results?) Early results such as refined pores, smoother skin texture, and improved evenness are usually visible within 2–4 weeks. Long-term benefits like wrinkle reduction or increased elasticity develop over 6–8 weeks with consistent use.
(Is the serum vegan and cruelty-free?) Yes. The formula is 100% vegan and developed without animal testing.
(Is the serum safe during pregnancy?) As it contains retinol, the serum should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If unsure, consult a medical professional.
(How does the serum target both blemishes and wrinkles?) Retinol and niacinamide regulate sebum production and boost cell turnover, while zinc soothes inflammation. The result is clearer, smoother and more resilient skin – without typical retinol irritation.
(Why is encapsulated retinol particularly important here?) In conventional serums, retinol often degrades through light and oxygen exposure. Encapsulation keeps it stable and allows deep delivery into the epidermis, where fibroblasts stimulate collagen and elastin production.
(What role does salicylic acid play in this formula?) Salicylic acid dissolves dead skin cells and clears pores, allowing retinol to act evenly. Studies show that combining mild exfoliation with retinoids can increase cell turnover by up to 25 percent.
