In the evening after cleanser and toner, use Retinol Reform® on dry skin. Follow with a moisturizer. Start with 1-2 times a week, add a day each week, build up to using as often as your skin can tolerate. Be sure to use a sunscreen daily (Shani recommends Supergoop Everyday Sunscreen SPF 50). Retinol Reform is best used at night when your skin is in repair mode. Shani recommends using a Vitamin C serum during the day. Avoid using other AHA products on the same night as Retinol Reform.
