How to use

1. Dispense 1 pump onto fingers and apply to a clean dry face. You can mist with a toner beforehand but allow it to soak in to avoid diluting your retinol.

2. Apply with light stokes to face and neck, avoiding the inner eye orbit and lips.

3. New to retinol? Apply 2 nights a week for the first 2 weeks. Build to alternate nights for another 2 weeks before using nightly. Using Retinol already? Go straight to nightly use.

4. Allow the retinol serum to soak in for a minute before applying your moisturiser. Pro recommendation for retinol use is Intensive Moisture Balance to add extra nourishment and hydration. Don’t forget SPF is critical in your morning regimen with
retinol use.

Pro tip: If your skin is very dry, try ‘sandwiching’ your retinol with an application of moisturiser before as well as after your retinol serum. If at any time skin feels irritated, just reduce number of times a week you’re using it.

After cleansing, apply a thin layer over face. Keep out of eyes. Use nightly and follow with your Dermalogica prescribed moisturiser for professional results. Wear an SPF during the day. If dryness or redness occurs, reduce frequency.

Use 2 times a week, a few days apart, for the first 2 weeks, applying only at night. Increase to alternate nights for another 2 weeks, building to nightly use. If you have been using a retinoid product comfortably, you may introduce it nightly straight away. During the day, always use SPF to help protect your skin against UV exposure.
