How to use
Due to the unique potency of Acne Complex, begin use gradually.
After Getting Skin Ready, apply a thin layer 2-3 times/week.

Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 30 or higher daily during initial retinol acclimation.

Anticipated Reactions
Redness, flakiness, dryness, burning, or stinging are all normal, anticipated reactions when starting retinol. With regular product use, skin will acclimate, revealing a smoother, more even-toned and youthful-looking complexion. Pair your retinol with a ZO functional hydrator to minimize anticipated reactions. Consult a physician for customized retinol protocol. Like prescription retinoic acid, retinol will make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Wear SPF 30 or higher daily.
