Frequently asked questions
Where does it go in my routine?
At the moisturising step, after cleansing and serum. In the morning, finish with sunscreen.
Can oily skin use it?
Yes. The texture is light; oily skin should use a thin layer over the face and neck.
Can it clog pores?
Results vary from person to person. Try on a small area before applying to the whole face.
Can I use it with retinol or tretinoin?
Yes. The cream suits skin using strong actives. Suggested order: Advanced Pre-Biotic Serum, then retinol, then the cream to lock in moisture. On retinol days, apply sunscreen generously in the morning.
Is the cream moisturising enough on its own for very dry skin?
For dry skin or skin using strong actives, use the cream with Advanced Pre-Biotic Serum. In the evening you can increase to 2 pumps, or apply an extra thin layer on dry areas.
Is it normal to feel warmth or stinging around the mouth after applying?
Mild stinging can occur when the skin is weakened or has tiny lesions, usually on the thin skin around the mouth and nostrils. If you notice red bumps, itching or a lasting burning sensation, stop using the product.
What if the pump does not work?
If the pump does not work when your order arrives, please contact PORÊVES within 15 days of delivery for support.
