In the evening, use the ring finger to apply to clean, dry skin around the orbital bone with patting motions. Use sparingly with a half pea-sized amount to cover the area effectively.

CONTRAINDICATIONS: Do not use retinol products if you are pregnant or nursing, taking prescription acne medication, or in conjunction with waxing, chemical peels or resurfacing procedures. Always use a high, broad spectrum sunscreen when using this product.

YOUR RETINOL RHYTHM:

Starting Out: Be sure to give skin a 3-day rest period from other active ingredients before incorporating Retinol Routine Booster or Retinol Eye Renewal into your regimen for the first time. When using other actives, such as products with a high percentage of Vitamin C, or having undergone specialized peels or device treatments, your skin can be at risk for over-stimulation. We recommend this rest period to avoid compromising your skin and to achieve optimal results.

One of the many benefits of using Universal Tri-Retinol is the slow-release of Retinoic Acid activity in the skin delivers the ideal, steady-state activity for healthy stimulation. We recommend starting out slowly by using the product once and then allowing minimally 48-72 hours before using the booster again.

This delay will allow your skin to process the Universal Tri-Retinol for the first time without overwhelming the activity in your skin that can lead to inflammation. After this initial uptake, you can then start to find your optimal frequency of use and integrate it effectively into your skin care routine.

Frequency of Use: Many of our users find the ideal frequency to incorporate Retinol Routine Booster and/or Retinol Eye Renewal into their regimen is 3-4 times each week. For most users, we recommend avoiding use of the product multiple nights in a row to prevent overstimulation. By increasing the usage of the product more slowly, your skin will be able to adjust and embrace a new cadence, allowing for a more favorable response.

A key benefit of the Universal Tri-Retinol is the staggered release of retinoic acid activity in the skin. Due to this steady state of activity, you may find that your skin experiences a delayed response to its potency. This is why a brief pause to avoid overstimulation is recommended in between each use.

Over time, you may gradually increase frequency to every other night or nightly, as tolerated, but the optimal frequency for most users will be 2-4 times per week.
