This Believe Beauty SKIN serum is powered by Retinol, which helps reduce the appearance of dark spots and discoloration. Renewing Retinol works to refine skin's texture, for a smooth finish. Directions: Apply a pea-size amount after washing and toning your face. Ensure your face is completely dry before application. Use only in the PM 2-3 times per week, gradually working your way to daily usage. Follow with moisturizer. Caution: Avoid direct contact with eyes and lips. Retinol may increase skin's sensitivity to sun; always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day. Please consult a physician prior to using retinol if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
