What is an undertone?

An undertone is the color beneath the surface of your skin, which never changes (even with a tan). There are three types of undertones:

Pink/Cool

I see red or pink undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin burns easily, but barely tans.
My skin looks better in silver jewelry than gold.

Neutral

I see both pink and yellow undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin sometimes burns and sometimes tans.
My skin looks good in both gold and silver jewelry.

Yellow/Warm

I see yellow or golden undertones around the perimeter of my face and neck.
My skin rarely burns, but tans easily.
My skin looks better in gold jewelry than silver.

Reviews

Amazing!

"I love this retinoid. I see results in about a month after using. I struggle with pores & discoloration and i see it smoothing both out. It might be helping with fine lines but i'm also using frownies so unsure about that."

Emma P. (5/5)

Love!

"I struggled with retinol side effects in the past, but this product is gentle enough that I don’t get side effects. My skin texture and appearance is definitely evening out."

Ann G. (5/5)

Exactly what I wanted

"So far so good. It looks more like a cream but extremely light and easy to apply like a serum. No scent. I'm using it to reduce blood vessel redness in my cheeks so it will take some time to see results."

chris s. (5/5)

Good product

"I really love most of this brand's products. Re-purchasing this. Not sure how much it is helping with anti-aging at this point though."

Marena S. (5/5)

Never received my products!!

"I am so disappointed I have been an avid customer but your customer service is horrible. I emailed twice explaining I never received the products and no response. I hate having to type this on here but maybe you will finally respond. Really upset."

Melissa C. (1/5)

Perfect

"Some retinoid products irritate my eyes (I don’t put close) and this doesn’t! Settles in quickly and effectively."

Mary M. (5/5)

Texture smoother

"I have super sensitive skin and this does not cause any irritation whatsoever and has changed the texture of my skin in a few weeks."

Kalin G. (5/5)

Lovely

"This product has been really well received for me. I really love the smell of it, it goes on so smoothly and since I am prone to break outs, I wanted something that wouldn't cause me to break out. This has been great. Definitely will be a restock for me. I did build up as instructed - I still only use about every other night as I have super dry skin, but it's been great!"

Vicki F. (5/5)

Been loving this

"Great for my sensitive skin, use every other night and have been loving it so far."

Lexie K. (5/5)

pretty good for the price!

"Got it as a gift with purchase and it made my skin feel smooth and look more smooth. Pretty good!"
