Is it suitable for use on the face?
This product is formulated primarily for body use. The concentration of urea, salicylic acid, and retinol means that facial use is not its primary indication; application to the face, neck, or décolleté requires prior evaluation by a dermatologist, especially for sensitive skin.

How often should it be applied?
The cream can be applied daily. The presence of MVE provides prolonged hydration; for areas with hyperkeratosis, regular application once or twice a day is usually the standard practice in dermatological protocols.

Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
There is no consensus on the topical use of retinoids in pregnancy; the presence of encapsulated retinol suggests seeking medical advice during pregnancy or breastfeeding before use.

Can it be used on atopic or sensitive skin?
The formula is designed for dry and very dry skin and is non-comedogenic and fragrance-free. For atopic or highly reactive skin, a dermatological assessment or patch test is recommended, as exfoliants can cause irritation in cases of severely compromised skin barrier.

Is it necessary to use additional sunscreen?
The cream includes broad-spectrum SPF 30. Since retinoids and exfoliants increase photosensitivity, in cases of prolonged sun exposure, combining it with additional photoprotective measures and reapplication of sunscreen may be advisable.

Can it be combined with other cosmetic or makeup products?
On the body, the cream integrates well into skincare routines. For the face, combining it with other active treatments (vitamin C, strong topical retinoids, alpha-hydroxy acids) requires sequencing and professional supervision. On body areas, it does not usually interfere with body makeup or surface moisturizers.

When are visible results observed?
Immediate hydration after application; improvements in texture and reduction of roughness are usually noticeable from 2 weeks of constant use, with gradual anti-aging effects in subsequent weeks.

Is it suitable for use by teenagers?
There is no specific data; the presence of retinol and exfoliating acids makes consultation with a professional advisable for use in minors.

Apply generously to clean, dry skin on the body, spreading the cream until completely absorbed. For areas with pronounced roughness (elbows, knees, heels), a small additional amount can be applied with a gentle massage. For regular daily use; in intensive treatment protocols, application can be repeated as professionally recommended. Because it contains broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen, morning application contributes to photoprotection of the treated area. In exposed areas and for prolonged sun exposure, a complementary sun protection strategy and frequent reapplication of sunscreen are advisable due to the presence of retinol and exfoliating agents.

Store at room temperature, protected from intense light and humidity. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes; in case of accidental contact, rinse thoroughly with water. The presence of retinol and exfoliating acids may increase sun sensitivity, so additional sun protection is important during prolonged sun exposure. If persistent irritation, severe redness, or an adverse reaction occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional. There is no conclusive evidence regarding use during pregnancy or breastfeeding; use in these situations requires prior medical evaluation. Avoid concomitant use in the same area with other aggressive topical treatments (chemical peels, prescription retinoids, or high-concentration alpha-hydroxy acids) without dermatological supervision. Keep out of reach of children.
