How to Use
Suggested Usage:

-Apply a pea-size portion to your face after cleansing and toning.

-Carefully avoid your lips and eyes (including eyelids and eye corners).

-Can be used on orbital bone perimeter if desired.

Please note:

-Some people may experience a delayed sensitized reaction to one percent retinol. Do not assume that if no reaction is seen after a few applications that you can apply this product more frequently. Pay close attention to how your skin responds, and adjust usage accordingly.

-If sensitization occurs (redness, flaking, tenderness, or drying of skin), reduce frequency of use.

-If sensitization persists, discontinue use.

-Protect your skin daily with sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater.
