FAQ
Who is this serum best for?
This serum is suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin. Because a healthy barrier is the key to beautiful skin, this is a great everyday foundational serum.
Best for clients who want:
- Healthy-looking skin
- Hydration
- Barrier support
- Smoother-looking texture
- A softer, more supple appearance
- Improved makeup application
- Everyday skin protection and maintenance
It is especially beneficial for:
- Dry or dehydrated skin
- Sensitive or distressed skin
- Skin that feels tight or uncomfortable
- Skin that looks dull or rough
- Clients using active skincare ingredients
- Clients undergoing professional aesthetic treatments
Is this a retinol or retinoid product?
No. This serum uses a gentle, retinoid alternative (Oleyl Adapalenate) rather than a traditional retinol or retinoid. It offers similar renewal benefits like boosting cell turnover and collagen to soften the look of fine lines, and even tone and texture with a much gentler tolerability profile, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
Can I use this if I have sensitive or compromised skin?
Yes. This serum was specifically formulated to be gentle enough for sensitive, dry, or distressed skin, and is also appropriate for post-treatment use when advised by your provider.
Can I use this alongside other active ingredients, like retinoids or acids?
Yes. This serum is designed to help protect and support the skin barrier's health and recovery which can be easily disrupted by active ingredients like retinoids and acids.
How do I incorporate this into my Olivia Quido Regimen?
This is a daily treatment that should be used morning and night. Consistency is important for maintaining a healthy skin barrier, especially when using treatments with other active ingredients that may disrupt the skin.
Apply 3–4 drops after cleansing and toning. Press gently into the skin rather than rubbing. If you're layering under other treatments, layer thinnest to thickest, allowing each layer to absorb fully before applying the next. It is also an excellent makeup-prep serum. The hydration and skin-conditioning benefits can help create a smoother, softer-looking canvas so makeup can apply more evenly and look less dry or flaky.

Are there any Med Spa treatments this is best paired with?
It can be an excellent supportive skincare product around treatments that may temporarily stress the skin barrier, including:
- Microneedling
- RF treatments such as XERF
- Chemical peels
- Resurfacing treatments
Post-treatment skincare should always follow the provider’s specific protocol and recommended timing.
