How to Use
Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin in the evening, after water-based serums and before moisturiser. Start by using it 2–3 times per week, gradually increasing frequency as your skin builds tolerance.
Avoid using it alongside other retinoid treatments or strong exfoliating acids in the same routine. Retinol can cause irritation when first introduced. Use sunscreen during the day.
