What makes it stand out

How to use and what to expect

Apply as the final step in your daily routine, smoothing across the face, then onto the neck and chest. For daytime wear, always finish with SPF 30 or higher to protect your refreshed look.

• Use after cleansing and treatment steps; a pea-sized amount is often sufficient
• In the morning, pair with SPF 30+ to support daytime protection
• Integrate gradually if you’re new to retinol, and adjust based on your skin's response
