How to use retinol serum
Apply at night after cleansing. Start with 2–3 nights per week, then gradually increase as your skin adjusts. Follow with moisturizer to keep the skin barrier feeling comfortable and supported.
Use SPF every morning while using retinol. Retinol can make skin more sensitive to the sun, so daily sunscreen is an important part of getting the best visible results.
Do not use retinol if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding unless cleared by your physician.
