An advanced nighttime treatment to help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and skin discolouration.

Description

SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0 is a highly concentrated night serum for advanced users known to assist in collagen production, the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin discolouration. Suitable for all skin types except sensitive, red, rosacea-prone skin.

Key ingredients include 1.0% pure Retinol 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 retinol. Specialised packaging preserves optimal retinol stability. Specialised packaging preserves optimal retinol stability. 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 oily, congested skins and reduces blemishes associated with problematic skin. You are advised to only use this product at night and to apply sunscreen during the day as retinol can cause some transient irritation to the skin and if unprotected from sun exposure, it can cause pigmentation.
