A high-strength retinol serum that targets general signs of skin aging, dryness, textural irregularities, and uneven skin tone. Suitable for all skin types, this anhydrous serum features retinol and squalane.
Retinol 1% in Squalane is a powerful, water-free solution containing 1% retinol, an ingredient known for improving the appearance of fine lines and dynamic wrinkles by boosting collagen and elastin production. This expert-level formula also evens skin texture and tone. Enhanced with squalane, a moisturizing agent naturally found in the skin, it helps combat the dryness often associated with retinol use and provides surface-level hydration.

Tips
Start with lower concentrations of retinol, such as Retinol 0.2% in Squalane, and gradually work up to 1% to build skin tolerance.
If prone to sensitivity, consider using newer retinoid technologies like Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion.
Avoid using copper peptides, direct acids, direct Vitamin C, and other retinoids.
Caution: Retinol can cause irritation, redness, and peeling, especially around the eyes and mouth, in the early stages of use.
When pregnant or breastfeeding, avoid skincare products containing retinoids.
Always use sun protection during the day to protect your skin from increased UV sensitivity.
