This product contains retinol which, when first introduced to the skin, requires an adaptation period in order to build tolerance to the ingredient. Users are recommended to start small and slow.
After using essence or serum, apply a small amount evenly over the face, neck, and onto parts with wrinkle concerns. Limit initial use to three times per week; gradually increase frequency to every other night, use as tolerated.
FOR EXAMPLE:
Week 1 to 2: use every other day at night
After cleansing, at the moisturizer step, apply a small amount to areas of concern. e.g. under eyes, mouth, forehead and neck
(Recommended amount : 0.1ml per section / 1 grain of rice)
Week 3+: apply every night
After cleansing, at the moisturizer step, users may apply product over the entire face if tolerated by the skin.

The products you receive may routinely have the lot/batch number, manufacturing date, and/or expiration date printed on it.
The product labels may vary depending on the country of origin. This is generally what we see:
- Korean products usually print both the lot number and the expiration date.
- Japanese products usually print the lot number only. If a date is printed, it would typically be the manufacturing date.
- Taiwanese products usually print both the lot number and the manufacturing date.
This is a generalization only (there are exceptions). Not all manufacturers follow the same format.
Here is a quick translation/guide to reading the dates:
MFG = Manufactured date
EXP = Expiration date
製造日期 = Manufactured date
製造日 = Manufacturing date
出廠日期 = Manufacturing date
有效日期 = Expiration date
標示於瓶身 (西元年/月/日) = Marked on the bottle (year/month/date)
批號 = Batch number
保存期限: 3年 = Shelf Life is 3 Years
保存期限: 5年 = Shelf Life is 5 Years
