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

I have been an avid

"I have been an avid retinol fan for so long and I didn’t realize how sensitized my skin had become until I started using this. I have noticed much less sensitivity, breakouts and reactivity in my skin. 2 pumps is all I need for my face, neck and décolleté. Every time I shower I feel as if I’ve just been to a luxurious spa. I can’t get enough of the herbaceous scent of this product."

Megan S. (5/5)

Happily Surprised

"I've been using the basic True Botanical cleanser, serum, and moisturizer and saw a difference in how my skin felt and looked soon after. I decided to branch out and add a few more items to my skincare routine and the Phyto-Retinol Clinical Serum was one of the first. I love how it applies and feels on my skin. I have not experienced any irritation or redness. In fact, what led me to write this review was when I saw a very candid, unfiltered photo of me the day after my total hip replacement surgery, and my first thought was, wow, my skin looks great. And it did. . . and people commented on that. No make up, no nothing, just harsh hospital lighting, and my body having just been through a harsh procedure. I was expecting to look tired and worn out. But, I was happily surprised and now a very grateful and firm believer in this product. Try it. . . I'll bet you will be happily satisfied you did."

Diane M. (5/5)

Not really seeing results

"I've been using this serum pretty regularly for about a month. I wish I could say that I've seen the kind of changes mentioned in other reviews, but honestly, I have not. I will say, it feels nice on my skin and has a slightly strong, but not unpleasant smell. Maybe it hasn't been long enough, or maybe there's really no such thing as a miracle."

Judy (3/5)

Effective and easy on skin.

"This is one of my favorite products. I can't tolerate retinol, but I still want the benefits that retinol delivers. I am 70 years old and I have found that this product (along with my other True Botanicals products) has really helped my skin look smooth, and diminished the fine lines on my face and around my eyes. I follow it with Chebula Extreme Cream, and I'm set. No one can believe my age!"

Stuart Z. (5/5)

Love it

"Love that I can use this through my pregnancy (and beyond)! And also love the scent - feels like I'm at the spa."

Jessica F. (5/5)

Love it sm!!

"I usually don’t do anything for my skin. I’ve been looking for a hero product—just one product—that would help me feel like I’m taking better care of my skin. This is amazing!! My partner and I love it"

EMMY C. (5/5)

Awesome

"Just in a very short time, I’ve have seen a substantial difference in my skin. Such an awesome product!"

Sandra C. (5/5)

Best nighttime serum

"I love this serum! It’s so gentle on my skin, smells amazing, and I see visibly brighter skin after its use. Very happy with this product."

Meghan T. (5/5)

Love it

"I’ve tried other products but keep coming back to this because my skin absolutely loves it. It’s brighter, smoother, and helps with clearing up dark marks and evening my tone. Can wear less makeup now:"

Marissa A. (5/5)

Great serum!

"I love this serum, it does not bother my sensitive skin like other retinol products do."

Deborah C. (5/5)

Q&A

Can this be used during the day? Or only at night?
Hi Kelsey! While our website directions recommend using the Phyto-Retinol Clinical Serum as part of your evening routine, it can also be used in the morning if that better fits your skincare routine. The formula is powered by plant-based retinol rather than synthetic retinol, so it isn't known to increase sun sensitivity in the same way. Simply apply it after cleansing (and toning, if you use a toner) and before your face oil/moisturizer. If using it during the day, we always recommend finishing with a broad-spectrum SPF as the last step of your morning routine.
Do you apply before or after radiance oil?
Hi Jeana! You can apply the Phyto Retinol Clinical Serum after cleansing and toning, and then follow with the Pure Radiance Oil or your moisturizer.
Can this be used on the upper and lower eyelids?
Yes, Phyto-Retinol Sleep Serum has been ophthalmologist-tested and is safe for use around the eye area. If you experience any sensitivity, discontinue use and consult with a dermatologist if needed.
Does this make your skin sensitive to sunlight? Curious if you recommend using this year round or only in colder months
Hi Claire! This product is microbiome friendly meaning it will not disrupt your skin barrier, dry out your skin or cause any photo-sensitizing reactions. It can be used all year long!
Can you put it under the eyes?
Yes, the Phyto-retinol Sleep Serum has been Ophthalmologist tested and is safe for use in the eye area.
