Can you apply the retinol .5 around your lips, but not on your lips?

Thank you for your question! You can apply retinol around the mouth but just be careful you don't apply too much because you can irritate and dry out that area. To treat your whole face you only need a pea sized amount of retinol. I would suggest using a moisturizer on top to combat any side effects like dryness/redness/irritation. Hope this helps!

Hello and thank you for your question about retinol. Retinol can be applied around the mouth for lip lines, just stay clear of the body of the lip. It is also important to not go too close to your eye with these products as they do travel a bit once it is put on the skin. I hope this answered your question and good luck on your retinol journey:)
