Retinol is the gold standard anti-aging ingredient, renowned for its ability to enhance cell turnover, visibly reduce fine lines, and improve skin texture. Our Retinol Complex 0.5% takes these benefits to the next level by incorporating vitamins C and E into its formula. This combination not only amplifies the anti-aging effects of retinol, but also helps to soothe and nourish the skin, making it an excellent choice for those looking to maintain a youthful, vibrant complexion. 3 Ways to Help Skin Adjust to Retinol: The Sandwich Method Applying a moisturizer before retinol helps keep dryness at bay, and moisturizing afterwards helps soothe and calm any irritation.  The Build-Up Method Start slow. The biggest mistake people make is applying retinol every night. Use a pea-sized amount once or twice a week. As your skin adjusts, you can begin using it more frequently. The Rinse-Off Method If your skin is sensitive, you can always use the Rinse-Off Method. Apply retinol to moisturized skin and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then gently wash it off. Increase the amount of time to 10 minutes, then 15, then 30, until skin can handle overnight application.
