Question 11
Q: Can someone with fair, sensitive skin use the RAGA® products?
A: Yes, the Night Cream must be used sparingly on dry skin (after washing, wait at least 10 minutes to apply). If too irritating, contact us and we can provide a milder formulation to replace the one you purchased. The Wash and Day Moisturizer can be used by any skin type.

Question 12
Q: Can a Retinol product be as effective as prescription tretinoin (aka Retin A®)?
A: Yes, because Retinol can literally become tretinoin when applied to skin. It can occur in a ten to one ratio. That means that 1% Retinol can become 0.1% tretinoin. Our formulation takes advantage of this phenomenon and uses an FDA allowable concentration of Retinol and Glycolic Acid to achieve near prescription strength.

Question 13
Q: Is the Night Cream an anti-aging product?
A: When making the claim that a product is "anti-aging', you're implying that it is therapeutic, i.e. a drug. That requires FDA certification and it now becomes a prescription medication. All OTC products being sold as cosmetics can only make claims relating to improvement of skin quality. If the cosmetic products are formulated properly, they can provide results similar to prescription medications.

Question 14
Q: After applying the RAGA® Night Cream, my skin sometimes gets red?
A: If a product is supposed to do something, it may irritate. Our Night Cream has been formulated to work as well as our prescription anti-aging product. Any redness or itching should only be temporary, lasting no more than 10-20 minutes. If it persists, email or call us and we will send you a substitue Night Cream designed for sensitive skin.

Question 16
Q: Should I use the Sunscreen with the Morning Moisturizer-Firmer?
A: If you’re exposed to strong sunlight in the southern states or during the summer in the north, it’s a good idea to add our Sunscreen to your morning regimen. The Sunscreen is formulated to be compatible with our Moisturizer-Firmer. On its own, RAGA® Sunscreen is also useful when you know you will be in strong sunlight.
