How to use

Apply a few drops to your face and neck in the evening after cleansing, avoiding the eye area and lips. Follow with a moisturizer to enhance hydration. Start by using it 2-3 times per week, gradually increasing the frequency as your skin builds tolerance. Always use sunscreen during the day, as retinol can increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight.

Tip: Start with Retinol 0.2% in Squalane and slowly work your way up to Retinol 0.5% in Squalane and Retinol 1% in Squalane. That said, if you are prone to sensitivity, you may prefer to use newer retinoid technologies, such as those found in our Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion.
