SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5

SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5 is an intermediate-strength night serum that helps to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, and acne. Suitable for all skin types except sensitive, red, rosacea-prone skin.

Key ingredients include Retinol 0.5% which is enhanced with the latest stabilisation and delivery technologies to provide maximum efficacy. Bisabolol, derived from the chamomile plant, calms the skin and minimises irritation commonly associated with the use of topical retinol. Specialised packaging preserves optimal retinol stability. Ideal for skin pre-conditioned with Retinol 0.3%. Dermatologically tested. Fragrance-free.

Dr Webster’s Recommendation: Retinol is considered the gold-standard anti-ageing ingredient by Dermatologists worldwide. I love the minimalist formulation that focuses on delivering a pure form of retinoic acid into the skin. The inclusion of calming ingredients balances the cosmetic acceptability of the formula, without making it less effective. Studies show that retinol not only helps to correct signs of ageing and pigmentation but it also helps congested skin and reduces blemishes associated with problematic skin. SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5 is ideal for continued used in early or mature ageing skin, spacing application a few days apart. You are advised to apply sunscreen during the day when using this product. Cannot be used if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or lactating.
