RETINOL TIPS BY KIEHL'S
Kiehl's has suggested ways to incorporate retinol into one's skincare routine. The skin care brand offers the Skin-Renewing Daily Micro-Dose Retinol Serum, which is applicable for both day and night use.
For a smoother transition to a skin care routine with retinol, Kiehl's recommended using the "sandwich method." It involves applying a generous amount of moisturizer, followed by retinol, then finished with another layer of moisturizer.
Those who prefer day use, meanwhile, are encouraged to finish their routine with a generous amount of SPF protection.
Kiehl's products are available on the brand's physical stores and official Lazada flagship store.
