How to use
Each evening, apply a pea-sized amount on to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye area. If you haven't used a retinol-based product before, you need to introduce this slowly to allow your skin to acclimatise. Start with applying 1-2x week for the first couple of weeks, gradually building up to nightly over the course of 4-6 weeks. This should minimise any irritation or peeling which can happen with retinol whilst the skin adjusts.
Description

Formulated with stabilised retinal, a powerful derivative of vitamin A with next-generation anti-ageing results.

Featuring hyaluronic acid, glycerin and vitamin E, it hydrates skin at every level to deliver a supple, even-toned, more youthful-looking complexion.
