How to use
For best results, integrate this retinol cream into your nightly skincare routine. Apply a small amount to cleansed and toned skin, avoiding the eye area. Make sure skin is dry before applying.
Given the concentration of retinol, remember to avoid daytime use and always apply sunscreen during the day when using retinol products in your skincare regimen.
To achieve the best results without overwhelming your skin, follow the step-by-step acclimatisation process.
Initial Phase – Building Tolerance:
- Limit usage to three times per week at night, eventually increasing to every other night as tolerated.
- Evenly apply the cream over the face, neck, and areas with visible lines using your ring finger for delicate pressure.
Weeks 1-2 – Adaptation Period:
- Apply every other night focusing on targeted areas such as under the eyes, around the mouth, the forehead, and neck.
- Use a small amount equivalent to the size of a grain of rice per section.
Week 3 and Beyond – Full Integration:
- Gradually transition to nightly application, spreading the cream to the entire face after cleansing and applying essence or serum.
- Continue monitoring skin tolerance and adjust accordingly.
Reminder:
Every skin type is unique, and the tolerance-building phase may vary. If discomfort occurs, maintain the initial phase until the skin fully adapts. Over time, as your skin becomes more accustomed to retinol, you can safely increase the frequency and application area for more comprehensive benefits.
