What Is Retinol?

Retinol is a vitamin A₁ derivative, also known under the name of Retinoid. Often found in our food, dietary supplements, or skincare products.

How to use Retinol 0.3?

Start by applying a small amount of Skinceuticals Retinol 0.3 in the evening after cleansing and drying your face. Avoid the eye area and begin with a 1-2 nights a week routine. Leave to absorb before applying any other product.

I love using Triple Lipid Restore over this retinol.

Note: This cream is not suitable for pregnant women. Retinol can cause photo sensibility. We advise everyone to use a daily high-protection sunscreen. Even on the not-so-bright days.
