How to use

1. Use it in between serum and cream.

Make sure to use serum or lotion before you use retinol. Use a small amount on the problem areas (wrinkles, etc.). When using it on the neck, make sure to put the serum on the neck as well. Finish with cream after you use retinol.

2. 2 weeks period of adaptation

If it's your first time using retinol, your skin will need time to get used to it. (1-2 weeks). Use it once in two days, only at night during the adaptation period. Use way less amount than you usually use (about a pea size).

3. After adaptation

When your skin fully gets used to retinol, you can apply it to the whole face and gradually increase the amount to achieve the best results.


Precautions.

1. Use sunscreen!

Due to the skin turnover that retinol causes, our skin becomes more sensitive. That's why we recommend using retinol in the evening. If you use it during the day or in the morning, make sure to apply sunscreen. However, even if you use it in the evening, don't forget to apply sunscreen the next morning.

2. Don't recommend using it in the following cases

Avoid using it after exfoliation, acne extraction, or laser treatment, as it may cause irritation. Do not combine it with products containing high levels of Vitamin C or strong chemical exfoliants. It's advisable to alternate the days when you use it.

3. If you have a sensitive skin

If you have sensitive skin, your skin may become red and flaky when you use retinol for the first time. It is a natural process of skin turnover, however, it is recommended that you apply a generous amount of soothing, moisturizing cream.
