Use it in your evening routine
Apply retinal in your evening routine. If you use it during the day, apply sunscreen as well.
Give your skin time to adjust
For the first two weeks, follow the gradual introduction schedule. Keep the amount and frequency steady even when the first application feels comfortable.

How to use
