Using Process:

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.
