How to use:

Apply in the evening: Retinol can increase skin sensitivity to the sun, so it's recommended to use it only at night.
Start slowly: If you're new to retinol, begin using it 2-3 times a week and gradually increase frequency as your skin builds tolerance.
Use a small amount: Apply a few drops to your face, avoiding the eye area.
Follow with a moisturizer: To lock in hydration and minimize potential irritation.
Sun protection is a must: Retinol can make your skin more sensitive to UV rays, so apply sunscreen during the day.

Caution:

Patch test first: As retinol can cause irritation, especially for sensitive skin, it's best to do a patch test before full use.
Avoid using with other strong actives like AHAs, BHAs, or Vitamin C to prevent excessive irritation.
This product offers a powerful anti-aging treatment, perfect for those looking to introduce retinol into their skincare routine.
