Note:

• Not a treatment for acne.

• Once opened, refrigerate and use within three months to maintain stability.

1️⃣ Use in your PM routine after cleansing and water-based serums, before heavier creams or oils.

3️⃣ Start 2-3 times a week, gradually increasing frequency as your skin builds tolerance.
4️⃣ Always apply broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day while using retinoids.
5️⃣ Discontinue use if irritation occurs and consult a physician if needed.
