Skincare Routine

This retinol serum fits into Step 3 of your evening skincare routine, applied after cleansing and toning but before your moisturizer.

1. Cleanse and tone first: Apply the serum only once your skin is clean and dry.
2. Use in the evening only: Apply several drops to the face each night, avoiding the eye and lip area.
3. Introduce gradually: Begin with 2 nights per week, increase to every other night in Week 2, then use nightly from Week 3 as your skin tolerates it.
4. Follow with moisturizer: Seal in the serum by applying your moisturizer immediately after.
5. Apply SPF 30+ every morning: Retinol increases sun sensitivity, so daily sun protection is essential.

Layering note: Do not use this serum in the same routine as AHAs, BHAs, benzoyl peroxide, other retinol or retinoid products, or vitamin C.
