Micro-dosing
Retinol
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

Products containing retinol claim to plump fine lines, erase wrinkles,
deliver smoother texture and even enhance your natural glow.

The catch? Most retinol products can cause irritation in the form of redness,
flaking and even skin sensitivity when used as instructed.

WHAT IS MICRO-DOSING?

"Micro-dosing" is a technique used to introduce skin to low levels of an ingredient, to both condition skin and gradually achieve results – without causing adverse effects.

That being said – less can truly be more when it comes to retinol use.

Why Micro-dose with Retinol?

Active ingredients like retinol can potentially cause irritation and excess inflammation for certain skin types (especially those who have not used retinol before), so starting at lower concentrations can help lessen irritation while building skin's tolerance to higher concentrations.

WHAT IS THE RETIOL CURVE?

The retinol curve depicts the typical relationship between time and results when using retinol. It's common to experience dryness, flaking and even mild pain after using higher concentrations of retinol – which is the reason most avoid it entirely. The amount of downtime one may experience when using retinol can vary person-to-person – and greatly depend on if skin has built a tolerance to retinol already.

Typical Retinol Use

Introducing skin to retinol slowly can help lessen irritation and downtime while building skin strength to accept higher treatment levels of retinol, when needed.
