From the product label.
Retinol is a powerful vitamin A derivative that helps improve the appearance of fine lines and uneven skin tone by promoting cell turnover.
Squalane is a moisturizing agent that mimics the natural oils in your skin, providing hydration and helping to reduce the drying effects of retinol.
Apply a few drops to the face in the evening. Do not use with other retinoid products. Use sun protection during the day. Caution: Retinol can cause irritation, redness, and peeling, especially around the eyes and mouth, in the early stages of use while skin builds tolerance. Refrigerate after opening. If irritation occurs, rinse off, cease use, and consult a physician. Use only as directed on unbroken skin. Patch testing prior to use is advised. Keep out of reach of children.
