Start Slowly
If you’re new to retinol, it’s essential to introduce it gradually into your skincare routine. Start by using the Skin Sciences Retinol Serum twice a week and gradually increase the frequency as your skin builds tolerance.
2. Use at Night
Retinol can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, so it’s best to use the serum at night. Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin after cleansing and before moisturizing.
3. Always Use Sunscreen
When using retinol, it’s vital to wear sunscreen during the day to protect your skin from UV damage. Even though you’re using the serum at night, retinol can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun.
4. Pair with a Moisturizer
To minimize dryness, follow up the retinol serum with a hydrating moisturizer. This will help lock in moisture and prevent any irritation caused by the retinol.
