Patch test on a small area before first use. Avoid the eye area. Retinol can make skin more sensitive to the sun. Wear sunscreen daily and introduce it slowly. Do not use in the same routine as vitamin C, benzoyl peroxide, AHAs or BHAs, and avoid scrubs. Do not use right after cosmetic procedures. Avoid during pregnancy or breastfeeding; check with your healthcare provider. Stop use if irritation occurs.
