Algae extract ensures skin is soft, hydrated and protected against free-radical damage.
Key Ingredients:
- Retinol: smooths and refines skin's texture and enhances radiance
- PhytoShield™ Complex: an antioxidant complex, enhances skin texture and minimizes irritation
Key Benefits:
- Enhances skin tone, texture, and resiliency
- Diminishes appearance of fine lines and coarse wrinkles
- Appropriate for all skin types pre-conditioned by using Retinol Complex 0.25 or another retinoid product
Apply a single pump to face in the evening. If you have never used a retinol product before, begin by limiting use to twice a week, gradually increasing frequency to every other night, and then advancing to each evening or as tolerated.

I loveeeee this retinol. I really should have gone down to .25 but I just dilute this one a bit more. Amazing stuff!

Love this Retinol
This retinol is very effective yet does not irritate my skin like other retinols do.

Visibly smoother skin
I can already see improvement in my skin. I’ve been using 0.25 retinol so I’ve only been using this once a week right now. That is all I can tolerate at this time as I have sensitive skin. However, I can already see improvement in my skins texture.

Only Retinol I’ve Used!
I have used this retinol for years! I use Revision Skincare for everything else, but even that company’s rep at my dermatologist’s office told me she loved this retinol over theirs!

My favorite retinol.
I’ve tried several retinol creams, and this is by far my favorite. In fact, I just ordered more. Highly recommend! It’s a good starter retinol cream.

Great Product
I ordered this for my mom as a starter retinol and it has worked fantastically so far. She has really sensitive skin which was not irritated at all and she has not seen any purging this far. But, she does use it only 2-3 times a week so far and with lots of moisturizer.

This is my favorite product. After increasing from 0.25, my skin adjusted very well, I have combination skin and I still stay hydrated throughout the night with this!

A nice retinoid
I like it but don’t love it. Just finished the bottle and can’t say I noticed a huge difference in my skin. Might try the 1.0 strength next time.

Still Learning to Love it
Bought this a few months back and still using it. It did cause irritation the first several weeks I used it but mainly because I think I was overdoing it. Started off twice a week and now using three times a week but not as consistent. Even though I've been inconsistent with it, I did notice an improvement in my skin texture. Will continue to use more regularly to receive all benefits of retinol.
