After cleansing in the evening, massage r-Retinoate Intense evenly across face, neck and décolletage. This product should be phased in gradually as it contains retinaldehyde. Use twice a week for the first 2 weeks, every other night for the next 2 weeks, then every night. You should always use a sunscreen in the morning while using vitamin A. Patch testing prior to use is advised.
