The building of "tolerance" can be shorter or extended depending on the case. Observe your skin and act accordingly. Stay in the same phase until your skin gets used to the retinol and you have no discomfort. Then increase the frequency and areas of application.
Warnings:
- When you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is recommended that you avoid any retinoid products.
- After using retinol, you may feel stinging and the skin may show some redness due to deep peeling of the skin. Irritation is a temporary and normal symptom. If irritation persists, reduce the frequency or stop using the product.
- Due to the nature of the retinol ingredient, the color may darken or acquire a particular smell.
- To preserve the freshness of retinol ingredients, avoid high temperature storage and direct sunlight.

We recommend that you try any new product by placing a small amount on the wrist or behind the ear before using it. Wait 24 hours to make sure there is no redness or itching and to ensure that the product is safe for your skin.

It is too early to judge about wrinkles, but what is certain is that the high retinol with its ingredients do not irritate the skin and honestly moisturize it. I am very satisfied with my purchase, although it does not absorb quickly. But I don't mind at all because my skin feels very good without pulling at all until I put on the moisturizer

I'm giving it 4 stars because I haven't used it in a while. I have combination skin with an oily T-zone and acne breakouts. I was afraid that it would be very greasy, but in the end it is light and absorbs perfectly, leaving no greasy feeling. However, I don't think it would be ideal for very oily skin. It has no fragrance, which is also a positive. In general, it is a more moisturizing retinol in contrast to creams that may leave the skin dry. I use it with cosrx snail moisturizer 92%, which is very light so as not to burden my already combination skin with the retinol oil, and I think it's a perfect combination. It would be the equivalent of using a retinol in a cream and a thick moisturizer on top.
