IMPORTANT: Follow instructions below:
When using Retinol 0.5 and Discoloration Defense together, a 2- to 3-week Retinol 0.5 acclimation period is recommended before introducing Discoloration Defense as part of the regimen. Do not apply Discoloration Defense on the broken or irritated skin. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.
Begin by applying Retinol 0.5 once or twice per week and gradually increase frequency to every other night as tolerated. Consult your skincare professional for a personalized dosage schedule. You may experience mild tingling or redness, which is a normal sensation and what dermatologists call, retinization. It is temporary as your skin adapts to Retinol 0.5 and usually subsides after 2 to 3 weeks.
If irritation develops and lasts, stop use and ask your doctor. Continue using a broad-spectrum sunscreen for 1 week after discontinuing use of Retinol 0.5.
As a precaution, retinol products should not be used by pregnant women or women who intend to become pregnant in the near future. Though there are no reports of topical retinol having any negative effect on fetal development, some problems have been reported with ingested retinoic acid.
