How should i use it?
Retinoids are nocturnal. Since they increase skin sensitivity to UV rays, it's better to use them at night and always use hight SPF during the day.
Do not use retinoids every night if you are sensitive to it. Start with 3 times a week and gradually increase.
Do not exfoliate your skin for several days, before and after retinoids use.
Damp skin helps with ingredient absorption. This is great for moisturizers and serums, but it may increase skin sensitivity with retinoids. In that case, apply in dry skin.
What type of Retinoid is used in Odalin's products?
We use Retinyl Palmitate because it is mild and suitable for everyone.
