Get Through Possible Side Effects

Be Relaxed

1. Dryness, tightness, peeling, and redness may occur when first using retinol
2. Side effects usually subside after two to four weeks until the skin acclimates, and the results will be worth it!

Consistency is the Key

Be Patient

1. Retinol goes deep beneath the epidermis (outer layer of skin) to dermis and helps neutralize free radicals to boost the production of elastin and collagen. This natural anti-aging process works from within and takes time
2. You may start seeing results after 1-2 months of regular use

Apply Sunscreen and Moisturizer

Protect Your Skin

1. Apply a hydrating moisturizer after if needed
2. Apply sunscreen. Reapply as needed throughout the day
