How do I use this product?
Incorporating a new active ingredient into your routine requires a careful, step-by-step approach to help your skin build tolerance:
- Cleanse and tone your face thoroughly in the evening.
- Apply a single pump of the Retinol Complex 0.25 to your entire face and neck.
- Follow up with a rich, nourishing moisturizer.
- If you are new to retinol, start by applying the product twice a week, spaced 2 to 3 days apart.
- Gradually increase the frequency to every other night, and eventually to every evening as your skin builds tolerance.
Note: Mild redness and peeling are expected. Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher during the day, as retinol increases sun sensitivity. Do not use if pregnant, lactating, or planning to become pregnant.
What skin types is this Retinol suitable for?
