This advanced 1% retinol features a potent blend of four peptides and vitamin C to help skin look and feel more youthful. The sheer, lightweight formula visibly improves skin's resilience, softens lines and wrinkles, minimizes pores and fades the look of discoloration over time.
Ingredients:
- 1% Retinol (Vitamin A): A potent, slowrelease concentration that visibly improves signs of aging.
- Oat, Willow Bark & Licorice Extracts: Soothe the skin to visibly address redness and other signs of sensitivity.
- Triple Peptide Blend: Complements highstrength retinol, promoting strong, visibly firm skin.
Clinical Results:
- Clinically proven to visibly reduce wrinkles in 4 weeks.
- Based on an independent clinical study with 33 subjects.
- After cleansing & toning, smooth 1-2 peasized pumps over face & neck, avoiding contact with eyes.
- Start with 3x/week & gradually increase frequency to every night as tolerated.
- For daytime, always finish with sunscreen. Some people may experience a delayed sensitized reaction to retinol. Do not assume that if no reaction is seen after a few applications that you can apply this product more frequently. Pay close attention to how your skin responds, and adjust usage accordingly.
- If sensitization occurs (redness, flaking, tenderness, or drying of skin), reduce frequency of use.
- Protect your skin daily with sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater.

Third purchase
I alternate between this and a more expensive retinol to make it go further. It has never made me peel, and my skin is glowing. Definitely an upgrade from the entry-level stuff I was using before!

Fantastic Retinol product
Love this stuff. It's an excellent value - Not too harsh and no sun sensitivity. I use it every day and wouldn't want to be without!

LOVE this product - but be careful to follow instructions
I LOVE this product. I use it every other night now, alternating with Paula's Choice C15 booster. This works well for me. My face is super-soft and my husband has commented on my "glow" since I started using it and I have very little to no flaking. I've already subscribed to it on Dermstore so I won't miss a shipment. One caution I have - follow the instructions! I started out too aggressively because I was used to other less-effective products and I paid the price with severe flaking and irritation/redness/rawness. This is much stronger than the products I tried before so start SLOW and work your way up, even if you are pretty used to retinol products - make sure you can tolerate it first - you can always up your usage if your skin doesn't react negatively. Great quality product!

Fourth bottle!
I have purchased this product multiple time over the past few years. It is the only thing that helps with my adult acne and pigmentation. To help with sensitivity to the retinol I use it on top of another facial moisturizer.

Not irritating but a little drying
Was hesitate to try a strong retinol because I have sensitive skin but this one works well and didn't cause any reaction! It's a cream texture but doesn't feel heavy. I have noticed some dry skin on my nose though so I apply a hyaluronic acid before using.

No difference
Two stars because it is affordable. But sadly, I haven't seen any difference in my skin. I'm not quite done with my bottle yet, so here's hoping I'll get a bit more results.
