Ingredient Overview

What is Retinol?

Retinol is a form of vitamin A that helps promote cellular turnover to maintain fresh cells on the skin’s surface and improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, and skin texture. One of the most prominent benefits of using retinol in skincare is skin proliferation, or skin cell production. The benefits of retinol include a revitalized surface of skin.

The Different Strengths of Retinol

Retinol is available in different concentrations that each provide a different level of efficacy. SkinCeuticals offers several retinol strengths and formulations enhanced with the latest stabilization and delivery technologies to provide maximum efficacy for the face and neck. It is recommended that beginners start with the lowest strength, Retinol 0.3%, in order to build up a retinol tolerance and prevent irritation.

Answers to your frequently asked
retinol questions.

Yes, retinol should be used with sunscreen because it can increase the skin’s sensitivity to the sun’s UV rays. However, it is generally recommended to only apply retinol in the evening as UV light is especially harmful to this ingredient. If using retinol with sunscreen, It is recommended that users apply a broad spectrum sunscreen in the morning as a part of their skincare routine.

It is recommended that users apply a layer of moisturizer after using products that contain retinol because it can have a drying effect on the skin. If using a retinol formula, consider completing your routine with SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2, clinically shown to help shorten the skin’s adjustment period for retinol and decrease dryness for a more comfortable retinol treatment experience.
