Is Retinol 0.3 effective?

Yes, Retinol 0.3 is an effective low dose of retinol. Retinol 0.3 is considered “retinol for beginners,” as it does not put the user’s skin at as much risk of irritation. A low-dose retinol night cream can help to condition the skin before moving on to a more concentrated formula.

What does Retinol 0.3 do?

Retinol face cream promotes cellular turnover, which reduces the appearance of discoloration, wrinkles, and fine lines.

Is it safe to use Retinol 0.3 while pregnant or breastfeeding?

As a precaution, retinol cream products should not be used by pregnant women, women who intend to become pregnant in the near future, or women who are breastfeeding. Though there are no reports of topical retinol having any negative effect on fetal development, always consult a physician.

When should I apply a retinol cream in my skincare regimen?

In the evening, apply Retinol 0.3 after cleansing the skin and applying a nighttime antioxidant serum, such as SkinCeuticals Resveratrol B E, and follow with a moisturizer. Retinol may increase photosensitivity. Always use a high-protection, broad spectrum sunscreen in the daytime when using this product.

Can retinol be used in the eye area?

It is recommended to avoid the eye area when applying retinol.

The Science Behind
Retinol 0.3

Accelerating Cell Turnover

Cell turnover is a naturally occurring process during which the outer layer of skin sheds dead cells and replaces them with new cells. As skin ages and turnover decreases, the cells heal more slowly from damage caused by free radicals, increasing the appearance of visible signs of aging.

Combat decreased cell turnover by incorporating retinol into your regimen. A powerful form of vitamin A, Retinol 0.3 stimulates turnover and supports collagen production, keeping skin smooth and radiant.

Getting Started with Retinol

Retinols are a form of pure vitamin A, which is a powerful ingredient that stimulates cell turnover and collagen production to visibly improve discoloration, texture, and signs of aging. Because retinol stimulates such rapid cell renewal, irritation may occur at first for beginners. To improve the appearance of skin while reducing risk of irritation, gradually incorporate Retinol 0.3 into your routine.

The Sandwiching Method

Retinol is a powerful ingredient that improves the appearance of visible signs of aging by promoting cell turnover and collagen production. Because it is so effective, retinol may cause irritation. To help trap moisture, reduce irritation, and make your products more effective, use the Sandwiching Method.

Step 1: Cleanse skin + apply a hydrating serum
Step 2: Apply a small amount of Retinol 0.3
Step 3: Finish with Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2
