Please Note

New to Retinal or Have Sensitive Skin?

Using all four retinal products in a single day may be too much for skin that is not yet used to retinal. Please introduce the routine with care.

  • 1Start slow. Begin with the Gel Cleanser and Refining Pad, then add the Serum and Eye Cream.
  • 2Build tolerance. Use the Serum and Eye Cream twice a week for the first 1–2 weeks, then gradually increase frequency as your skin adjusts.
  • 3Listen to your skin. If you notice redness, stinging or dryness, reduce how often you use the routine or skip a step.
  • 4Protect by day. Retinal can make skin more sensitive to sunlight. Apply sunscreen every morning.

Patch test before first use. Discontinue use and consult a dermatologist if irritation persists.
