The routine
Two products. That is the whole range.
One does the work. One keeps your barrier happy while it does.
Both together comes to R 0.00, which clears the R1000 free delivery threshold.
Based in South Africa
Ordering skincare here should not take three weeks
Most of the good actives sold to South African women ship from overseas. You pay in a foreign currency, wait weeks, get surprised by a customs bill, and if it does not suit your skin you are posting it back across the world at your own cost.
PurelyHer holds stock locally. You are buying in rands, from a business in your time zone, with delivery measured in working days instead of weeks and returns handled by someone who answers their own email.
The method
How to start without the peeling
- 1
Two nights a week
Cleanse, dry your skin properly, then apply. Twice a week for the first fortnight is enough. Rushing this is what causes most of the horror stories.
- 2
Hydrate underneath
Layer the hyaluronic acid serum first on the nights your skin feels tight, and always follow with a moisturiser.
- 3
Sunscreen, every morning
Vitamin A derivatives can make skin more sensitive to sunlight. This part is not optional, and it matters more under a South African sun than most.

Questions, answered
Will it irritate my skin?
Retinal is an active, and some tightness, dryness or flaking in the first few weeks is common while your skin adjusts. Start with two to three evenings a week, apply to dry skin, and build up from there. Patch test on your inner arm first if you have reactive skin.
When do I use it?
In the evening only, after cleansing. Follow with a moisturiser. Wear sunscreen every morning while you are using it, as vitamin A derivatives can make skin more sensitive to sunlight.
Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using any vitamin A product during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. We are not able to give medical advice.
Where do you ship from, and how long does it take?
Everything ships from within South Africa. Five to seven working days nationwide. Delivery is R99, and free on orders of R1000 or more. No customs charges and no import delays.
