Apply a pea-sized amount after cleansing, toning and exfoliating, and then follow with your serum and/or nighttime moisturiser. Avoid the lips, direct contact with the eye, and corners of the eyes. You may apply up to the orbital bone of the eye area. When first using the Clinical 1% Retinol, start with no more than three evenings per week, then gradually increase frequency to every other night and, finally, every evening as tolerated.
Transparency lies at the heart of our philosophy which is why we have partnered with tech-platform – Provenance – to cut through the industry ‘noise’ and equip you with key facts that matter. A 'proof point' with a green tick means a third party has verified the accuracy of the statement whereas no green tick means that there isn't independent confirmation (yet!), but that the brand has still supplied substantiating evidence (which you can view yourself).

Good mixed with moisturiser
I bought this as a way to try retinol without investing. I like mixing it in with my moisturiser at night to dilute it.

Good but not convincing
I have used 3 mini bottles, first applying 2-3 times a week, then every other night. The skin looks a little brighter, but I didn't see a huge improvement.. I know Retinol is supposed to work over time, but I have tested other Retinol products that showed better results after a few weeks. A mini bottle lasted me 7 applications

Retinol
I’m always conscious of trying a new retinol in case it irritates my skin. I use this every night and it is very gentle! I have already purchased the bigger size

great for sensitive skin
I don't know what it is about this retinol, but it was great for me. When I start using a new retinol product, my face gets very dry and flaky, but not with this one. I started using this gradually, one a week, than twice a week and so on, and it didn't irritate my face at all. It's good for dry and sensitive skin. Give it a try!

smooth skin
I have sensitive skin so I can only use this product once a week. I only apply it at night and in the morning my skin looks smooth and soft. It smells really good and is easy to apply. Be extremely careful when applying and don't forget use sunscreen to protect your skin.
