Question 2

Can I use Paula's choice skin smoothing retinol body treatment on my face treatment on my face

Accepted Answer

Although the formula is designed for use on the body, it is OK to apply this to your face, too. It can be the moisturiser step in your nightly skin-care routine—and it can be applied around the eyes, too.

Question 3

Can this be used to improve the appearance of stretch marks on hips? How often can this be applied? Thank you

Accepted Answer

Dear customer,

Thank you for your interest in the Retinol Body Treatment! Stretch marks can be incredibly frustrating, all the more so because the majority of us will experience them at some point in our lives.

Stretch marks are scars that have formed from the inside out, unlike the scarring you see when skin is externally wounded. Unfortunately, they are among the toughest concerns to treat because there are no cosmetic ingredients or products that can make much of a difference in their appearance, so it’s important to be realistic in expectations. That being said, the Retinol Body Treatment most likely will not provide much improvement. Should you wish to use it however, you can apply it up to twice daily.

Topical skincare products can't raise the indentations back to where the skin level used to be or repair snapped elastin fibers, nor do preventative measures like massage or dermal rollers work to avoid stretch marks. Some prescription retinoids show a small degree of benefit. Some medical procedures can improve their appearance, such as laser treatments and TCA peels, but again, it's important to keep your expectations realistic.

We hope this is helpful!

Best,
Team Paula's Choice
