Retinol Expression. Nature’s answer to retinol without its side effects.

If you are pregnant, it is necessary to speak with your doctor even if this formula is not retinol but has an action that resembles retinol. The reason is simple because there are still some studies missing, even though this molecule is not related to retinol, so you should really talk to your doctor before using it in order to make your decision. Some companies don't see any problem with it at the moment but we at Corpa Flora want to remain cautious and it might be better not to use it for the first 5-6 months and to talk to your doctor before use.
