Start by using twice a week in the evening, for around two weeks, to give the skin time to acclimatise to the Retinol content. After this time, increase usage to every other night for another two weeks then gradually increase to nightly use.
Avoid the delicate eye area. Not to be used in conjunction with other Retinol products, except the Retinol Eye TR.
Always remember to apply a sunscreen during the day when using a Retinol-based product at night.

USE OF RETINOL
When using Retinol for the first time, it is important to allow the skin time to acclimatise to the active ingredient. Apply a small amount in the evening no more than twice a week, never on consecutive evenings, for at least two weeks. If the skin hasn’t suffered any extreme irritation or redness, start to increase the number of applications gradually over a period of weeks until you reach a number your skin is comfortable with. This could range from three nights to seven nights a week.
As Retinol can make the skin sensitive to sunlight, always apply a sunscreen to the skin every morning to prevent sun-induced inflammation and damage.
