A: Dear Alex, thank you for your question. Whenever you apply or mix an oil with a moisturizer it boosts the hydration of the moisturizer, unless you use too much and then you make your moisturizer too greasy. Applying an oil first or after applying moisturizer may be a better solution. Allow one product to absorb and then apply the other. You certainly can use Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Therapy Oil with any other brand of moisturizer but we really can't guarantee your success with it since we don't test other brands with our products.

A: Dear Karat, Thank you for your question. Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Therapy Oil doesn't contain retinoid. Our Skin Therapy Oil Face is the product which contains retinol to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It contains less than one percent of that ingredient along with vitamin E and C to help dark spots and aging skin. The combination of ingredients are cosmetically effective in reducing sun damage with little chance of irritation.

A: Dear Vulpix, Thank you for your email. Face redness is typically dilation of the tiny capillaries under your skin.We're not doctors so it's best to consult a physician before using any new product on the affected area. Your redness may be the beginnings of Rosacea. Palmer's can't claim, our Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Therapy Oil reduces redness if it's a chronic condition and not merely skin irritation. What our Skin Therapy Oil will do is help uneven skin tone, reduce the appearance of scars and stretch marks and hydrate dry, damaged skin.
