Description
This powerful, high-strength serum helps to quickly firm and smooth your skin while making dark spots less noticeable. It works to refine skin texture, even out skin tone, and boost brightness for a more radiant look.
With a high 0.2% concentration of Retinal, it significantly improves the look of lines and wrinkles, including crow’s feet and forehead lines. This product is very strong and is recommended only for experienced users of retinoids.
It also contains oat-based ingredients to help calm the skin and reduce the dryness often associated with retinoid use. The formula’s natural yellow color may leave a temporary stain on light fabrics, so allow it to absorb fully before contact.
How to use:
- In the evening, apply a pea-sized amount to a clean, dry face and neck. Always apply a moisturizer afterwards.
- Start by using it only once a week. You can slowly increase to twice a week, a few days apart, as your skin gets used to it.
- Do not use this with other retinoid products and you must use sun protection every day. Be sure to avoid your eye area.
- Only use on healthy, unbroken skin. If irritation occurs, wash the product off, stop using it, and speak with a doctor.
