 How to Use 

First-Time Use

If you're new to Crystal Retinal, we recommend performing a patch test at least 24 hours before first use. Follow the patch-testing instructions provided with the product.

Gradually introduce Crystal Retinal into your evening skincare routine. Start by using it twice a week for the first 2 weeks, then every other night for the following 2 weeks. You can then adjust your routine based on your individual skincare preferences.

Step 1 After cleansing in the evening, apply 2 pumps of Crystal Retinal to the face and neck. Allow the product to absorb.

Step 2 Follow with your preferred moisturizer. A moisturizer formulated for use with vitamin A skincare can be used as part of your evening routine.

Step 3 During the daytime, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen as part of your regular skincare routine.
