Detailed Usage Instructions

Week 1-2 (Building Tolerance): Apply every other night after cleansing, toner, and serum. Use rice grain-sized amount (0.1ml per section) on targeted areas including under eyes, around mouth, forehead, and neck. Start slowly to build skin tolerance.

Week 3+ (Full Application): Can be used nightly on entire face once tolerance is established. Apply a few drops to clean, dry skin before moisturizer. The tolerance building process may vary - observe your skin and adjust frequency accordingly.

Important Safety Notes: Always use sunscreen the next day as retinol increases sun sensitivity. Avoid mixing with vitamin C or other active ingredients. Store in cool, dark place to maintain potency.

Expected Results & Timeline
