Avoid use with other AHA/BHA or Vitamin C (e.g., glycolic acid, salicylic acid, vitamin C or other retinoids) unless directed by a skincare professional.

- Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day, as retinol increases photosensitivity.

Apply a pea-sized amount of Retinol 0.5 to clean, dry skin in the evening, avoiding the eye area. Allow the product to fully absorb before applying additional skincare products. Begin with use once or twice per week, then gradually increase frequency to every other night, and eventually nightly, as tolerated. Establish consistent skin tolerance before progressing from Retinol 0.3 to Retinol 0.5.
