How to use
Use in the evening after cleanser and toner, and before moisturizer.
- Apply a small amount evenly to the face.
- Avoid the eye and lip area.
- Follow with a moisturizer to support hydration and the skin barrier.
HELPFUL TIPS
• If you are new to retinol, start by using the serum 2–3 times per week and increase frequency gradually as your skin adapts.
• Always apply sunscreen during the day when using retinol products, as retinoids can increase sun sensitivity.
• Avoid combining with strong exfoliating acids in the same routine when first introducing retinol.
• If you have sensitive skin, apply moisturizer before and after the serum (often called the “retinol sandwich method”).
• Apply to completely dry skin to help reduce the chance of irritation when starting retinol.
• Pair with soothing and hydrating products such as ceramides, centella or hyaluronic acid to support the skin barrier.
• Temporary dryness or mild flaking can occur while the skin adapts to retinol. Reduce frequency if irritation appears.
• Visible improvements in skin texture and smoothness often appear after about 4–8 weeks of consistent use.
• Beginners can start by applying the serum only to targeted areas such as fine lines or uneven texture before using it on the entire face.
