Retinol is the gold standard anti-aging ingredient, renowned for its ability to enhance cell turnover, visibly reduce fine lines, and improve skin texture. Our Retinol Complex 0.5% takes these benefits to the next level by incorporating vitamins C and E into its formula. This combination not only amplifies the anti-aging effects of retinol, but also helps to soothe and nourish the skin, making it an excellent choice for those looking to maintain a youthful, vibrant complexion.


3 Ways to Help Skin Adjust to Retinol:

  1. The Sandwich Method

    • Applying a moisturizer before retinol helps keep dryness at bay, and moisturizing afterwards helps soothe and calm any irritation. 

  1. The Build-Up Method

    • Start slow. The biggest mistake people make is applying retinol every night. Use a pea-sized amount once or twice a week. As your skin adjusts, you can begin using it more frequently.

  1. The Rinse-Off Method

    • If your skin is sensitive, you can always use the Rinse-Off Method. Apply retinol to moisturized skin and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then gently wash it off. Increase the amount of time to 10 minutes, then 15, then 30, until skin can handle overnight application.

 

 


Directions

  • Apply sparingly (pea size amount) over face, avoiding eye area.
  • Allow to absorb before applying additional products.
  • Can be used once a day at bedtime or as directed by physician.
  • Initial application should be twice a week for first week and increase use after skin shows minimal signs of irritation.
  • Use of sun protection is highly recommended.
  • Do not use if pregnant or breastfeeding.

Great way to start Retinol for sensitive folks

I was continuing to have peeling with my prescription Retinol compound after 5 months, so my Derm recommended this. So far I've been able to tolerate it, and hope with continued use I can at some point upgrade to the prescription stuff again. If not, this is still a great alternative.

Silky and effective

This serum totally surprised me! It goes in almost like a primer, velvety and smooth. It layers nicely under the peptide night cream and so far has caused very minimal irritation. I do feel like my forehead lines are looking less noticeable!

This is a very good retinol cream. The consistency is easy to spread and absorbs quickly. I've tried other brands of retinol, including prescription, and this is the most user friendly. Others I've used were either too thick and pasty so they were hard to apply, or they would dry out and harden at the tip of the applicator. I'm using it 2 nights a week.
