How to Use Retinol?

It is important to follow the instructions when using retinol. For some prescription-strength products, you need to apply a thin layer of lotion or cream to the affected skin area one time a day. Ideally, you should do this at night to prevent direct sunlight exposure. While using retinol, make sure to apply the exact prescribed amount and rub into the skin completely. For oral applications, make sure to learn when and how to take retinol appropriately. You should take retinol with meal after having the main milk as milk may help this fat-soluble substance to dissolve quickly in the body. [7]
