How to use Meditherapy Retinal Serum

Who it's for: adults who want an evening vitamin A step in a routine focused on texture, fine lines, dullness or uneven-looking tone. It suits normal, combination and dry skin. If your skin is sensitive or you have never used retinal or retinol before, go slowly.

1. Patch test first. Apply a small amount along your jawline or behind your ear in the evening for two or three nights. If you notice redness, stinging or irritation that doesn't settle, stop using it.
2. Use it at night only. After cleansing and toner, pump a small amount onto dry skin and press it over your face, avoiding the eye area, lips and corners of the nose.
3. Start slowly. Begin with two or three evenings a week. If your skin stays comfortable after a few weeks, you can use it more often.
4. Follow with moisturiser. A simple, comforting moisturiser helps your skin stay comfortable while it gets used to retinal.
5. Wear sunscreen every morning. Retinal can make skin more sensitive to the sun, so finish every morning with a broad-spectrum SPF50+ and reapply when you're outdoors. Browse our Korean sunscreens.

On the nights you use it, skip strong exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA) and other retinoids. Mild dryness or flaking can happen at first. If it does, use it less often.
