How to use

Where it fits in your routine

At night, apply a pea-sized amount to clean dry skin, avoiding the immediate eye area. Begin two nights per week and build up only as tolerated. Pause use for 5 nights before any in-clinic skin treatment. SPF every morning — retinoids increase sun sensitivity.
