Begin with a pea-sized amount for your entire face. More isn’t better; it can lead to irritation.
Apply it at night, after cleansing and toning your skin. Allow your skin to fully dry before applying the cream.
Use your ring finger to gently dab the cream onto your skin. Avoid rubbing, as this can cause irritation. Start application in the center of your face and work your way outwards.
Focus on areas with concerns like acne or wrinkles, but avoid the immediate eye area and lips.
Start with application every other night, gradually increasing frequency as your skin tolerates it. Listen to your skin; if it’s excessively irritated, reduce the frequency or consider a lower concentration.
Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher during the day, regardless of weather conditions. Retinoids increase sun sensitivity.
Be patient. Results take time. You may experience some initial dryness, peeling, or redness–this is normal and usually subsides.

If irritation persists or worsens, consult your dermatologist. They can adjust your treatment plan or suggest alternative options.
