How long does a tube last?
How long does a tube last?
Depending on how you use it. I use it once a day sparingly on my body, and twice a day on the face, and it lasts 6-8 weeks. I'd advice using it on damp skin after a shower because again you need to use less, and it helps lock in more moisture. I use it daily everywhere because I'm 34 and because my skin is super sun damaged and needs extra support. Also I just love the products. If your skin is in great shape you can get away with using it on your body 3 times per week and still see great results, as both moisturisers have a high enough percentage of actives that it functions as a skin serum.
Can I use other moisturiser and serums with it?
Can I use other moisturiser and serums with it?
I'd advise not. Both products have a high percentage of actives in them, and the ingredients work together synergistically. If you mix this with other products you run the risk of skin interactions. That being said, if you want to use it as a skin serum a few times a week on your body, and you want a cheaper body product for the other days, then best to go with a simple body cream and/or oil, that's focused on hydration and very low in actives.

Is it suitable for sensitive and acne prone skin?
Is it suitable for sensitive and acne prone skin?
Yes! Our products are formulated with sensitive and acne prone skin in mind. We've used a combination of skin balancing, soothing and non comedogenic ingredients in both formulations. For particularly sensitive skin, we recommend starting with the Winter Everywehere formula and then adding or swapping to the Summer formula if you're looking to combat sun damage. The Winter ingredients are particularly soothing. Always patch test before use and discontinue and consult your doctor in the unlikely event there is a skin reaction.
Are the products anti-aging?
Are the products anti-aging?
Many of the ingredient themselves are classified as anti-aging ingredients. We don't like using this terminology because we're anti "anti-aging" and ageism. We believe ageing is something that should be celebrated and appreciated, over idealisation of youth. Our ingredients have been selected to restore the function and improve the longevity of the skin on a cellular level, in order to have your skin looking and functioning healthily for as long as possible.
How long should I use your products before seeing results?
How long should I use your products before seeing results?
The skin renews itself roughly every 28 - 35 days. By that we mean the outer layer sheds during this time. While some of our ingredients have effects within 1-14 days, we suggest sticking with your Radical routine for at least 6 weeks to make your judgement. But we think after your first tube, you'll be hooked on Radical Botanics.
