Skinceuticals Retinol 1.0

When your skin has been conditioned to using retinol (a derivative of Vitamin A) at lower doses for improved texture and tone, you might be ready to step up your regimen with Retinol 1.0. This concentrated night cream treatment contains 1.0% pure retinol, the highest available. Used regularly, it diminishes the appearance of discolorations, fine lines, blemishes, and wrinkles. This formula is optimized for greater stability while remaining non-comedogenic, and it won’t clog pores. It’s effective for most skin types, but you should consult your physician before including it in your regimen.

Directions for Use: Use only in the evening. A pea-size amount is enough to cover your face, avoiding eyes and lips. Apply evenly after cleansing face and before other products, making sure to allow it to absorb thoroughly before moving on with your regimen. Even if you’ve been using Retinol 0.5 regularly, use only once or twice per week initially and increase frequency over time up to your level of tolerance, but no more than once per day. Make sure to use a high-quality, broad-spectrum SPF product during the day because retinol can increase photosensitivity. Pregnant people and those seeking to become pregnant should avoid retinols.
