FAQ's

What does MAXXING Smooth Criminal Retinol Serum do?
MAXXING Smooth Criminal Retinol Serum supports the look of smoother, more even-toned skin with consistent evening use. It uses a retinol and retinyl palmitate formula at 0.3% total retinol equivalents, widely studied for supporting skin texture and tone.
Who is MAXXING Smooth Criminal best for?
It is best for men aged 25 and older who want to support the look of smoother more even-toned skin, anyone dealing with the appearance of rough skin texture, and those building an advanced looksmaxxing skincare routine.
Can I use retinol and copper peptide serum together?
Do not apply retinol and copper peptide serum at the same time — using them together is not recommended as they work best applied in separate routines. Use MAXXING Smooth Criminal Retinol Serum on alternating nights with MAXXING Glow GHK-Cu Copper Peptide Serum, or apply retinol in the evening and copper peptides in the morning.
How long does retinol take to show results?
Many users report the look of skin texture and tone improving with consistent evening use. The appearance of skin continues to refine over time. Individual results vary and are not guaranteed.
How is MAXXING Smooth Criminal different from other retinol serums?
