How to Use:
- Nighttime Use Only:Â Apply a few drops of the serum to your cleansed and toned face in the evening only. Avoid the delicate eye area.
- Start Slow:Â Introduce Retinol gradually into your routine. Begin with using it 1-2 times a week and increase frequency as your skin tolerates it.
- Moisturize Well:Â Retinol can cause dryness, especially when first starting to use it. It’s crucial to follow with a hydrating moisturizer to keep your skin comfortable.
- Sun Protection is Crucial:Â As Retinol increases sun sensitivity, always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher during the day, even on cloudy days.
