Wash your face thoroughly, then apply 3-4 drops of serum to the face and neck. 

Massage gently until the serum is fully absorbed.

The best effect is achieved by using the product both in the morning and evening.

We recommend using a +15 SPF (Sun Protection Factor) cream, let your Retinol work for 2-3 minutes before applying SPF cream.

A tip to minimize redness is to apply Hyaluronic Acid Serum before and after applying retinol. These extra layers can mitigate the side effects.
