The Science Behind
Retinol 0.5

Accelerate Cell Turnover with Retinol

Cellular turnover is the process of skin cells being shed and replaced with undamaged cells. This process heals the damage caused by environmental aggressors like UV radiation, and keeps skin looking healthy, hydrated, and plump. As skin ages, turnover decreases and cell damage accumulates. Retinol 0.5 is a powerful treatment that stimulates cell renewal and restores collagen production, keeping skin smooth, soft, and even.

Retinol Percentage Breakdown

A form of pure vitamin A, retinol is a potent ingredient that is clinically proven to visibly improve discoloration, fine lines, and wrinkles while refining texture and reducing pore size. After conditioning skin to low strength retinol, incorporate Retinol 0.5 into your routine to reduce visible signs of aging more quickly.

The Sandwiching Method

Retinol is a powerful ingredient that may cause irritation, so preventative care is an important step when including retinol in your routine. Use the Sandwiching Method during your routine to promote cell turnover and collagen production while trapping moisture and preventing irritation.

First, cleanse skin + apply a hydrating serum.
Then apply a small amount of Retinol 0.5.
Last, finish with a ceramide-rich cream like Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2
