Product Uses
We conduct the retinol treatment in the fall-winter season (approximately from September to March / April). When using retinol in care, we absolutely apply high SPF50 + sun protection for the day and avoid sun exposure. It should also be remembered that during the treatment with retinol, the skin requires increased hydration and regeneration. - We start using retinol always from a lower concentration, i.e. 0.3 or 0.5% - both when carrying out the treatment for the first time and resuming it after a longer break. - We introduce retinol gradually, during the first 2 weeks, using every 4-5 evening. After every two weeks, we reduce the interval between applications by 1 day. - We apply it only once a day, only in the evening care, on clean and dry skin, avoiding the eye area. - At the beginning of introducing retinol into care, we apply it ourselves to observe the skin reaction. Ultimately, approx. 30-40 minutes after applying retinol, you can apply a moisturizing and regenerating product, e.g. a serum with ceramides and / or a lipid cream for winter. - In the first weeks of use, you can observe redness, dryness or irritation of the skin, as well as its peeling - this is the result of building the skin's tolerance to this active substance. - We switch to a higher concentration of retinol at the earliest when the skin tolerates the use of a lower minimum 4-5 times a week. - We also introduce a higher concentration "from scratch", building skin tolerance - first every 4 days, gradually increasing the frequency over time. The use of retinol throughout the year is acceptable, but in the spring and summer period it is worth switching to a lower concentration, and when planning increased exposure to the sun, stop it completely for about 4 weeks earlier.
