Retinol products help stimulate cell regeneration and build collagen to diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots from both photo- and intrinsic aging.

• Preserves optimal retinol stability and minimizes irritation commonly associated with the use of retinoids .
• Ensures maximum amount of retinol reaches the target site.
• Limit initial use to once or twice a week; gradually increase frequency to every other night, and finally each evening as tolerated.
  
  

How to use:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of Retinol 0.5 to thoroughly cleansed skin in the evening. Carefully avoid the eyes and the corners of the eyes.
2. To ensure optimal results, wait at least 30 minutes before applying any corrective or moisturizing products.
   
   

Key ingredients:

• 0.5% Retinol: A derivative of vitamin A, clinically proven to improve the appearance of aging skin and skin discoloration. Helps exfoliate skin and decrease the occurrence of blemishes.
  
  
• Bisabolol: Derived from the chamomile plant, this ingredient helps calm and soothe the skin.
  
  

Caution! Retinol is photosensitizing—broad-spectrum sun protection is a must when retinol is part of your skin care regimen. As a precaution, retinol products should not be used by pregnant women, women who intend to become pregnant, or women who are breastfeeding. Though there are no reports of topical retinol having any negative effect on fetal development, some problems have been reported with ingested retinoic acid.
