1. Cleanse And Moisturize

Clean your skin using a cleanser. After that, apply a lightweight moisturizer that without ingredients such as mineral oil, jelly etc. Dab it on the sensitive areas of the skin. Using a lightweight moisturizer is important as a heavy moisturizer will basically neutralize the benefits of retinol as well, rendering it useless.

2. Apply Retinol Serum

Once you are done moisturizing the face, it is time to bring out the retinol. Apply it on your skin in pea sized quantities over the moisturized areas and gently rub it in. Make sure you don’t overdo applying the retinol serum. But if you are confident that your skin isn’t sensitive, you can skip the first step for a few days and just apply retinol so that your skin has a higher affinity towards retinol. Then slowly start integrating the first step into your routine.

3. Moisturize Again

It’s time to whip out the moisturizer again and finally complete the sandwich, with the bread being the moisturizer and the stuffing being retinol. Once you’re done you can rest easy.
