After cleansing in the evening, apply a rice-sized amount of Medik8 Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye Cream to the skin of each eye, following the bone and avoiding the eyelids. Then, gently massage with your ring fingers to promote product absorption. In the morning routine, always apply sunscreen.

Start with the appropriate strength and gradually build up the application frequency. This helps your skin build up tolerance while avoiding any potential irritation. If you're already using the Crystal Retinal Serum for the face, match that strength. So, use the product twice a week for the first 2 weeks, every other night for the next 2 weeks, and then every night. Once your skin has adjusted and built tolerance, if you desire, you can move on to the next strength. When moving up within the Crystal Retinal ladder, there’s no need to phase in, but it's recommended to complete at least 1 tube of the previous strength before advancing to the next strength.
