Patch tests are an easy way to help predict if you may experience a negative initial reaction to a new product. It is recommended to perform a patch test before incorporating any new product into your regimen. We have outlined a general method for conducting your own patch test below based on the type of product.
- Apply a small amount of the product onto a clean area of skin on the upper forearm.
- Keep the area dry.
- If the product has a specified duration of use, rinse off after this time has elapsed. Otherwise rinse off after 24 hours.
- If any redness, burning, itching, blistering or irritation is observed at any time throughout the test, do not use the product.

Beginner retinol
I’ve only started using retinol.., so it’s good to start with a low one first to let your skin become used to it. This is a great starting point and I have found no irritation with my skin and it helps to improve appearance of my skin. Will be miveing up to next level retinol on my next purchase. Would recommend this as a first retinol

Great!!!!
Absolutely love this product! Works wonders on my skin. Love using it as part of my night time skin routine! I’d recommend to start using the product once a week, then gradually to 3x a week, then to every night as it can be a little strong for sensitive skin! But 5/5 stars! Love it !!!!
