Skin type:
Apply a small amount to the face as part of your skincare regimen, after water-based serums but before heavier treatments. Do not use with other retinoid treatments. Avoid unprotected sun exposure. Caution: Retinol may cause irritation, redness, and peeling, especially around the eyes and mouth, in the early stages of treatment while the skin develops tolerance. If persistent irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a doctor. Use only as directed on unbroken skin. Patch testing is recommended before use.
