Usage Process:

1. Patch Test: Before first use, perform a patch test to ensure no allergic reaction occurs. Apply a small amount to a discreet area and wait 24 hours.
2. Application: Apply a small amount to the face in the PM as part of your skincare regimen, after cleansing and toning but before heavier treatments and moisturizers.
3. Frequency: Start with 1-2 times a week to allow your skin to acclimate. Gradually increase the frequency as your skin builds tolerance.
4. Avoid: Do not use with other retinoid treatments and avoid direct sun exposure. Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day.
5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Caution:

• Retinol can cause irritation, redness, and peeling, especially around the eyes and mouth, in the early stages of treatment while skin builds tolerance.
• Avoid using during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Use sun protection during the day as retinol can increase skin’s sensitivity to UV rays.
