How to Use
At the end of your morning and evening skincare routine, take a small pearl-sized amount onto your fingertip and gently apply to areas where wrinkles are a concern, such as around the eyes and mouth. When using in the morning, follow with a cosmetic product offering UV protection to protect the effects of retinol.
To open: Remove the cap and discard the blue ring. Place the cap straight onto the tube and screw it down until the raised section at the base is no longer visible. Remove the cap; the inner stopper will now be in place.
Avoid contact with eyes. After use, wipe the tube opening clean and close the cap securely. Store away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, and humidity.
Do not use if you have previously experienced problems with retinol-containing products or are prone to skin problems. For first-time use or when skin is sensitive, start by using only at night every 2–3 days for the first two weeks, then every night for the next two weeks, gradually increasing frequency. When using other retinol-containing products, avoid introducing several at once; introduce them one at a time while observing your skin. Follow the recommended amount and frequency.
If using on the neck for the first time, follow the same precautions as for the face. Do not use on the neck if you have experienced problems on the face. Stop applying to any area where problems occur.
