How to Use
Step 1 - To be used only at night after cleansing and toning
Step 2 - Apply 2-3 pumps to the face and neck, avoiding the eye area
Step 3 - Follow with Restoring Night Cream. Alternatively mix the Retinol Powerbalm and Restoring Night Cream together and then apply. This will dilute the retinol strength for gradual introduction.
How often should I use retinol? For best results:
Ideally you use overnight retinol powerbalm once per day in the PM, however it may take some time to build up the skins tolerance to retinol everyday.
Caution: Avoid retinol for at least 5 days prior to sun exposure, waxing or professional exfoliating/peeling treatments. Wear an SPF daily as retinol can increase skin sensitivity to sun exposure.
