How to use
Step 1: Cleanse your face Start with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and makeup. Pat skin dry. Step 2: Apply toner / serum (optional) Use hydrating or soothing skincare before moisturizer. Avoid strong acids (AHA/BHA) when using retinol. Step 3: Apply a small amount of moisturizer Take a pea-sized amount and gently apply evenly to face and neck. Step 4: Night use only Use only at night. Do not apply in the morning. Step 5: Build tolerance gradually Beginners: 2–3 times per week Advanced users: can increase frequency based on skin tolerance Step 6: Always use sunscreen next day Retinol increases skin sensitivity to UV, so daily SPF is required.
