BasicLab Corrective serum with Retinal Phytosphingosine 30ml

For daytime, we absolutely apply high SPF50+ sun protection and avoid sun exposure. Please also note that during retinal treatment your skin needs to be moisturised and regenerated. You should always start using retinal at a lower concentration, i.e. 0.07%, both when you start treatment for the first time and when you resume it after a longer break. Retinal should be applied gradually, every 4-5 evenings for the first 2 weeks. Over time, the interval between applications is reduced by 1 day. Apply the serum once a day, only in the evening care, on clean and dry skin, avoiding the eye area. At the beginning of the introduction of retinal to skin care, we apply it alone to observe the skin's reaction. Ultimately, about 30-40 minutes after applying retinal, you can apply a moisturising and regenerating product, such as a serum with ceramides and/or a lipid cream for winter. In the first weeks of using retinal, redness, dryness or irritation of the skin as well as scaling may be observed - this is a result of building up of skin tolerance to this active substance. We switch to higher concentration of retinol at the earliest when skin tolerates well the use of lower concentration at least 4-5 times a week. Higher concentrations are also introduced while building up skin tolerance - first every 4 days, gradually increasing the frequency. The use of retinal all year round is acceptable, but before any planned increased sun exposure, it should be discontinued completely about 4 weeks beforehand. Recommendations: The serum is fragrance-free, its slightly noticeable note is due to the composition. We recommend washing hands thoroughly after application. The serum may stain light-coloured bedding and clothing. We recommend protecting pillows and, if stains occur, using a stain remover.
