Age Defying Rejuvenating Cream with bakuchiol

A: Hi Julie,

Our CannaCell Dreamy Night Cream and our Age Defying Rejuvenating Plant-Based Retinol Alternative Cream are both moisturizers and can be used either day or night so it's up to you how you want to use them in your regimen. Here are the ways we use them:

Multi-moisturize (to address problem areas)
This is a technique of applying different moisturizers to specific areas of your skin. On clean skin, apply your moisturizers to the different areas you're looking to address. For example, apply the Rejuvenating Cream on areas of sun damage and fine lines, and the Dreamy Night Cream on areas of dryness.

Layer (for drier skin types)
Put your first layer of moisturizer on after you've cleaned your skin and put on any serums or treatments. This layer should be relatively light. In this case, the Rejuvenating Cream is the lighter option. The thicker moisturizer goes on last, such as the Dreamy Night Cream.

Alternate
Use different moisturizers at different times of the day. For example, use the Rejuvenating Cream in the AM and the Dreamy Night Cream in the PM.

Or alternate different moisturizers on different days.

Or use on different parts of your skin. For example, use the Rejuvenating Cream on your face and the Night Cream on your neck and decolletage or any variations thereof.

Don't forget your serum!
Serums and moisturizers do different things. Face serums are lightweight fluids that penetrate deeper to deliver active, key ingredients into your skin that you won't get from moisturizing alone. Moisturizers lock in the serum ingredients into your skin, provide additional daytime/nighttime antioxidant/nutrient benefits, and are thicker and creamier by design to prevent water loss.

Order of skin care regimen:

1) Cleanser (remove impurities)
2) Exfoliate/Mask (recommended 1-3 times per week – renews the skin by sloughing off debris and built up dead skin cells so that serums and moisturizers can penetrate, thus hydrating the skin sufficiently)
3) Toner/Hydrating Mist (balances the pH in skin, alleviates tightness after cleansing, and primes the skin for moisturizing)
4) Treatments if any (eye cream, blemish cream, Dermal Filler, etc.)
5) Face Serum (lightweight fluid that penetrates deeper to deliver active, key ingredients)
6) Moisturizer (lock in serum ingredients into skin and hydrate skin)
7) SPF (to protect)

These aspects are typically associated with dry skin rather than oily skin. Please contact our Consumer Care team at usa@andalou.com to assist you with product selections.

A: Hello Katja,

Facial products like face serums, face creams, and face moisturizers (including facial SPF moisturizers) tend to migrate to the eye area anyway, but if applied right on the lid or under the eye, the product can transfer into your eyes and possibly irritate them. We recommend the ocular bone being your stopping point with these products.

For hydrating the delicate eye area, we recommend using a product formulated specifically for the delicate eye area to address specific concerns. The following eye products are specially formulated for the delicate eye area. Depending on your specific concern, the products are as follows: Our 1000 Roses Eye Revive Contour Gel, specially formulated for sensitive skin to reduce puffiness, fine lines, and dark circles, our Luminous Eye Serum, formulated to brighten, reduce puffiness, fine lines, and dark circles, our CannaCell® D.Puff Eye Cream formulated for all skin types for a smoother, brighter appearance, our Age Defying Rejuvenating Plant-Based Retinol Alternative Eye Balm formulated for to deeply hydrate and smooth the delicate skin around the eye area, and our Deep Hydration Reviving Eye Cream formulated to improve skin elasticity and boost hydration.

A: Our products are generally safe to use while pregnant and nursing. However, should there be any question or concern for a specific ingredient or allergic condition, for your safety, we recommend consulting with your physician for a thorough evaluation.
