Key Features

How to use

• ☽ PM
• When to Use: Start with a weekly application and gradually increase usage to twice a week, a few days apart, as tolerated by skin.
• Recommended Amount: A pea-sized amount.
• Application: Apply to a clean, dry face and neck.
• Routine: Apply a moisturiser afterwards. Use sun protection during the day.
• ✖ Do Not Use With: Other retinoids, vitamin C, AHAs or BHAs.
• Please Note: If irritation occurs, rinse off and cease use. Use only as directed on unbroken skin. Patch testing prior to use is advised. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid the eye contour and contact with eyes.
• Please Note: The bright yellow hue of the formula comes from the high concentration of retinal. This may leave some residual colour on skin and light coloured fabrics, which can be minimised by allowing the product to fully absorb, and skin to dry before making contact with light-coloured fabrics. This residual colour can be removed by washing skin with water, and washing fabrics with regular detergent according to their care instructions.
