A high-concentration pure retinol 1% anti-ageing cream for experienced retinol users to refine signs of ageing skin. Suitable for normal, oily and combination skin types.

Retinol 1.0 is only for those who have experience with Retinol 0.5 or higher. Retinol 1 percent is very high strength, and should only be used in the evening. To avoid irritating the skin, use a lipid-rich moisturiser such as Triple Lipid Restore 242 Anti Ageing Moisturiser after the application of the 1.0 retinol.

Retinol increases cellular turnover and it is, therefore, essential to use a broad spectrum, high SPF sunscreen such as Skinceuticals Ultra Facial Defense SPF50 when using this product.

What's So Special?

- High-Potency Retinol Formula:Contains 1.0% pure retinol to effectively diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin discolouration.

- Advanced Stabilisation System: Ensures even release of retinol for maximum efficacy, enhancing its performance and benefits for the skin.

- Blemish Reduction: Helps minimise blemishes while refining the appearance of pores for a smoother complexion.

- Skin Texture Improvement: Works to improve overall skin texture, promoting a more youthful and radiant appearance

- Soothing Ingredients: Infused with chamomile-derived bisabolol to provide calming effects, reducing potential irritation associated with retinol use.

How To Use:

Having cleansed your face, apply a thin layer of the moisturiser and allow to dry (regardless of concentration, retinol should not be applied to damp skin as it may be absorbed more deeply and cause irritation). Once skin is dry, apply a pea-sized amount of Retinol 1.0 night cream, closely followed by a second layer of moisturiser to sandwich moisture in.

Allow for full absorption before applying other products and limit initial use of retinol to once or twice weekly. Gradually increase the frequency to every other night, then every night as tolerance builds. SkinCeuticals recommends users new to retinol start with Retinol 0.3 , progress to Retinol 0.5 and only then to Retinol 1.0.
Retinol is prone to increase skin photosensitivity, so ALWAYS use a high SPF, broad spectrum sunscreen during the day.

As a precaution, retinol cream products should NOT be used by pregnant women, or women who intend to become pregnant soon.
