It is important to establish consistent skin tolerance before advancing to a higher concentration.

Retinol use may increase photosensitivity. Always use a high protection, broad spectrum sunscreen. As a precaution, women who are pregnant or intend to be pregnant in the future should not use retinol. 

Though there are no reports of topical retinol having any negative effect on fetal development, always consult a physician. **
