Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use Ultimate Recovery to help dry skin?
Yes. Ultimate Recovery can provide effective comfort and healing support for very dry, irritated skin types. It is especially recommended for compromised, post-treatment skin following the likes of chemical peels, microneedling or microdermabrasion.
Can I use Ultimate Recovery while pregnant or breastfeeding?
As a cosmetics company, we are unable to provide product advice in relation to medical conditions such as pregnancy or breastfeeding. We strongly recommend discussing the ingredients with your GP or midwife before use. As general guidance, this product does not contain any ingredients which we would recommend to avoid during pregnancy, unless advised by your doctor.
When and how should I apply Ultimate Recovery?
You should apply Ultimate Recovery after cleansing in the morning and/or evening - or more often if required. Remember to always follow with sunscreen in the morning to fully protect compromised, post-treatment skin.
What's the difference between Ultimate Recovery and Ultimate Recovery Bio-Cellulose Mask?
Ultimate Recovery is a rich, restorative cream designed to comfort compromised, post-treatment skin. Ultimate Recovery Bio-Cellulose Mask is a deeply hydrating mineral sheet mask, ideal for skin in need of an intense hydration boost.
