Skinceuticals – Retinol 1%

1% retinol, soothing complex, bisabolol (derived from the chamomile plant) and boswellia serrata extract (derived from frankincense).

In the evening, apply a pea size amount to clean dry skin, avoiding the eye area. Allow product to absorb before applying other skincare products. Limit initial use to once or twice a week, gradually increasing frequency to every other night, then every night as tolerated. It is recommended for new users to start with a Retinol 0.3 to establish skin tolerance. Retinol may increase photosensitivity. Always use a high-protection, broad spectrum sunscreen when using this product. As a precaution, retinol face creams should not be used by pregnant women or women who intend to become pregnant in the near future. Though there are no reports of topical retinol having any negative effect on fetal development, always consult a physician.
