Use in the PM, after cleansing. Apply a few pumps of the serum across your face and lightly massage into the skin. Allow to absorb and follow with your moisturiser, if preferred. Use sun protection during the day. For Retinoid 1, initially we would recommend you use it twice a week, building up to 3-4 times per week depending on your skin’s need. If you are currently using an acid product (e.g. AHA, BHA toner), we would recommend you use this and the retinoid on alternate days. PM Retinoid routine example: Cleanse, Tone (hydrating toners/mists only), Retinoid 1 or 2 Treatment, Eye Cream, Moisturise (if needed).
