Content and information on this site are not a substitute for professional medical or healthcare advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and may not be used for such purposes. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health expert with any questions you may have regarding a medical question, condition, or safety concern.
Retinol Reform SHOULD NOT be used when you are pregnant and/or breastfeeding. Please consult your physician to determine the best time to start or resume using Retinol Reform after having your baby.
Results will vary depending on your skin type and what you are using Retinol Reform to treat. For acne, you should notice your skin improving after a week and soon see a smoother surface with an increased glow. For reducing discolorations, it may take a few months to see spot lightening benefits. For wrinkles and fine lines, you may notice a visible difference anywhere from a week to a month after beginning use.
Shani believes wearing SPF every day is a must no matter the weather or the products you use. So, always apply sunscreen as part of your skin care routine. Find Shani’s favorite Sunscreens here. With Retinol Reform, stay mindful about this daily practice because retinol can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun. When cleansing your skin at night, do not use a scrub or anything abrasive before applying Retinol Reform. Then, follow the serum with your nighttime moisturizer.
You may apply a small amount of retinol under your eyes, being careful to avoid your lashes, eyelid, and lower lid margin. Because the skin surrounding your eyes can be very sensitive, you should start slow — one or two times per week — and build up the frequency of use to minimize possible irritation. Due to the skin's delicate nature, however, all skin types may not be able to handle this under-eye treatment. And, of course, don’t forget to use sunscreen regularly when using a retinol product!

After you cleanse, you may apply a toner like Daily Toning Essence before using retinol.

Shani formulated Retinol Reform for use on your face, neck, and décolletage.

Use Retinol Reform after you cleanse at night, then apply moisturizer if needed.
