*Cautions*
· Patch testing prior to use is advised.
· When pregnant or breastfeeding, it is recommended to avoid any retinoid products.
· After the use of retinol, the skin may feel stingy and may show signs of reddening due to deep skin exfoliation. Irritation is a temporary and normal symptom. If irritation persists, reduce the frequency or stop the use of the product.
· Due to the nature of the retinol component, the colour may become darker or you may feel a unique odour.
· To maintain the freshness of retinol ingredients, avoid storing in high temperatures and direct sunlight.
· It is recommended to store it in the refrigerator when not used every day.
· Since this product can increase sensitivity to sunlight, use sunscreen while using the product.
· Do not pair with any scrub, peeling or exfoliating product as it can irritate the skin
