How to use a retinol serum correctly?

Start by using it twice a week and gradually increase the frequency to allow your skin to adjust. Combine retinol with hydrating ingredients to minimize irritation and always apply SPF during the day to protect your skin from UV damage. And don’t use too much! Just a small amount per application. Also, be mindful not to apply it around your eyes.
