- Begin by using the product two to three times per week, gradually increasing frequency to nightly as tolerated by your skin.
- Gently smooth the product over your face, avoiding the immediate eye area.
- Always follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen the next morning, as retinol increases skin sensitivity to the sun.

How often should I apply the Renewal Retinol 0.5?
