- Effective in brightening, scar treatment, and oil control.
Usage Instructions
- After cleansing in the evening, apply an appropriate amount evenly across the face after toning.
- Due to its high concentration, retinol is recommended for users familiar with its effects; beginners should start with lower concentrations (0.2% or 0.5%) to allow the skin to adjust before progressing to 1%.
- Avoid applying around sensitive areas such as the eyes and mouth.
- As retinol increases photosensitivity, it's essential to use sunscreen during the day.
- Redness, sensitivity, or peeling may occur initially; consider reducing usage frequency or temporarily halting if these effects are severe.
Precautions
- Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should avoid retinol or retinoids.
- If your skin is sensitive to retinol, conducting a patch test is advisable beforehand.
