Using Process:
Patch Test: Before first use, perform a patch test to check for sensitivity. Apply a small amount of product to a discreet area of skin and monitor for any adverse reactions over 24 hours.
Application:
- Start with cleansed and toned skin.
- Dispense a few drops of the retinol oil onto fingertips.
- Gently massage the oil into the face and neck using upward motions, avoiding the eye area.
- Allow the product to absorb fully before applying additional skincare products or makeup.
- Use sunscreen during the day, as retinol can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight.
Frequency:
- Initially, use 2-3 times per week in the evening.
- Gradually increase frequency as tolerated, up to daily use if skin allows.
- If excessive dryness or irritation occurs, reduce frequency or temporarily discontinue use.
Caution:
- Avoid using with other retinoid treatments unless advised by a dermatologist.
- Discontinue use if persistent irritation or redness occurs.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Note: Always consult with a dermatologist or skincare professional before incorporating new products, especially those containing retinol, into your skincare routine, particularly if you have sensitive skin or existing skin conditions.
