What the brand says about this product. Our ingredient analysis follows below.
How to use
Phase 1 — Skin Adaptation (First 1-2 Weeks) Use 2-3 times per week during the initial adaptation period to allow your skin to adjust. Apply a small amount to the concerned area (approx. 0.1 ml per area). Phase 2 — After Adaptation After cleansing, gently refine skin texture with a toner or pad, then dispense an appropriate amount and gently massage over the face. Once absorbed, finish with a moisturizing skincare product. As your skin builds tolerance, frequency can be gradually increased to daily use or every other evening, depending on your skin condition. TIP: For enhanced soothing care, use with Centella Soothing Cream. A mild tingling sensation or temporary redness may occur immediately after application due to the spicule texture that supports ingredient absorption. This is a normal skin response and typically calms within 1–2 hours as the skin adjusts. If you are new to retinol or spicule-based products, begin with a lower frequency and adjust gradually according to your skin condition. Recommended Care ✔ Patch test before first use ✔ Apply sunscreen as the final step of your morning routine ✔ Avoid use on irritated or damaged skin and contact with eyes or lips ✔ If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a professional
