To start your skincare journey, use The Night Cream and The Spot Cream on alternating nights for first two weeks. This allows the skin to adjust to the ingredients. If you have no previous experience with tretinoin or hydroquinone/azelaic acid (the main ingredients in The Night Cream and The Spot Cream respectively) insert one skip night in between treatments for the first two weeks. If used together, apply The Spot Cream first, wait 5 to 10 minutes, followed by The Night Cream.
The Spot Cream should not be used in the mornings until your skin adjusts to the new routine, which can take up to four weeks (assuming no prior use), and only if recommended by your dermatologist. The Night Cream should not be used in the mornings.
Sample Routine (apply at night only):
Monday - The Night Cream
Tuesday - moisturizer
Wednesday - The Spot Cream
Thursday - moisturizer
Friday - The Night Cream
Saturday - moisturizer
Sunday - The Spot Cream
Repeat as necessary. Apply sunscreen daily.
