Usage Tips from Beauty Time:

• The Beauty Time team recommends starting to use the serum once to twice weekly in the evening, then gradually increasing the number of uses according to the skin’s tolerance.
• Use a small and moderate amount on completely clean and dry skin; because increasing the amount does not speed up results and may increase the possibility of dryness, redness, or peeling.
• For dry or sensitive skin, the Beauty Time team recommends using the sandwich method by applying a light layer of moisturizer before the serum, then applying the serum and following it with another layer of moisturizer.
• Avoid applying the serum directly on eyelids, the close eye area, lips, sides of the nose, and irritated areas; because they are more prone to dryness and sensitivity.
• Do not use it in the same routine with other retinol or retinoid products to avoid overusing Vitamin A and irritating the skin.
• It is preferable not to combine it on the same night with AHA, BHA, PHA exfoliating acids or strong exfoliants, and separate nights can be assigned for each.
• When using it for the first time, test it on a small area of skin and wait to make sure no unwanted irritation or sensitivity appears.
• If mild dryness or peeling appears, reduce the number of uses and focus on hydration and supporting the skin barrier until the skin regains comfort.
• Use the next morning a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, with reapplication during continuous sun exposure.
• To get the best benefit, the Beauty Time team emphasizes committing to gradual and regular use, while avoiding rushing results or using several strong active ingredients at the same time.
• Keep the bottle tightly closed and away from direct sunlight and high heat to help maintain the stability and quality of the retinol formula.
