Product details

Product Description

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.
