How to use
Apply small dots around the eye area and gently smooth until thoroughly absorbed. Use in the AM or PM. With consistent AM + PM use, this product is designed to last ~2–3 months.

Caution
Retinol is a powerful ingredient, so it is important that new users slowly introduce it to their skin to build tolerance and avoid any negative reactions. Users should introduce one Retinol product at a time to their skincare routine. Once a tolerance to one Retinol product is built, you can add additional Retinol products to your routine if you wish. Note: If your skin shows a reaction, such as redness or a dry patch, take a break from Retinol usage for a few days until the reaction subsides. Then, reintroduce Retinol into your routine using a slower frequency. If symptoms continue, stop using product and consult a physician.
