Retinol

Retinol in skincare is known to help increase skin cell renewal and collagen production, helping reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines while supporting a fresh and plump appearance of the skin.

Retinol can be used up to 5 days a week. It is recommended to start by using retinol 2-3 nights a week and gradually increase up to 5 days a week. Once the skin has adjusted, the strength of the retinol can be increased to a higher level if desired.

Retinol should be left on your face for 10 to 20 minutes to give it time to absorb before applying another product.

Retinol should be applied at night, while vitamin C should be applied in the morning. Pairing these two ingredients in your your skincare regimen can help reduce skin irritation.

Yes, retinol should be used with sunscreen because it can increase the skin’s sensitivity to the sun’s UV rays. It is recommended that retinol users apply a broad spectrum sunscreen in the morning as a part of their skincare routine.

It is recommended that users apply a layer of moisturizer after using products that contain retinol because it can have a drying effect on the skin. If using a retinol formula, consider completing your regimen with SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2, clinically proven to help shorten the skin’s adjustment period for retinol and decrease dryness for a more comfortable retinol treatment experience.

Retinol can be applied to your face and neck to help improve signs of aging. Consider adding SkinCeuticals Tripeptide-R Neck Repair to your regimen to target the signs of aging in the neck.
