TIPS FOR USAGE

As one of the most effective anti-aging ingredients, retinol has the power to visibly transform your complexion. Even so, results take time. Whether you need a retinol cream for beginners or are an experienced retinol user, it is essential to gauge your skin’s tolerance for it and gradually increase use. Adding the appropriate strength of ZO® Retinol Skin Brightener to your routine ideally balances skin tolerability with results you can see.

 

Due to the strength of Retinol, it is normal to expect some slight peeling and/or redness when first starting this product. Retinol 0.3%, retinol 0.5% and retinol 1.0% can be used from once a week, up to once a day.

All skins can benefit from retinol. The key to attaining visible results is to gradually build your skin’s tolerance for it. Depending on your ability to tolerate retinol, you may experience redness, flakiness, dryness and other common signs of irritation. Due to its potency, moderate sensitivity is to be expected.

HOW TO BUILD A TOLERANCE FOR RETINOL
Some sensitivity when first starting to use retinol is normal. The amount of time it takes to build a tolerance to retinol varies from person to person. However, how your own skin reacts can be controlled by adjusting product strength and usage frequency. Over time, your skin will become accustomed to retinol, revealing a smoother, more even-toned and youthful-looking complexion.
