Description

Science

Designed for maximum efficacy and stability, SkinCeuticals retinol cream is formulated with high concentrations of pure retinol and enhanced with stabilization and delivery technologies to ensure maximum efficacy while minimizing irritation and other common side effects.

Unlike products that utilize traditional encapsulation technology, Retinol 0.5’s innovative delivery system captures and stabilizes the active ingredients while protecting the product’s potency.

How to use

In the evening, apply a pea-sized amount of this night cream to clean skin, avoiding the eye area. Allow for absorption before applying other skincare products. Limit initial use to once or twice a week, gradually increasing frequency as tolerated. Retinol is prone to increase photosensitivity. Always use a high-concentration, broad spectrum sunscreen when using this product.

As a precaution, retinol cream products 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, some problems have been reported with ingested retinoic acid.
