{"product_id":"skinceuticals-retinol","title":"SkinCeuticals Retinol","description":"\u003cp\u003ePure, stabilized retinol in three escalating strengths so you can build tolerance over months rather than starting too strong and giving up after a week of irritation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe formula uses microencapsulated pure retinol (not retinyl palmitate or retinyl acetate), which the skin converts to retinoic acid more efficiently than ester forms. The encapsulation slows the release across the night, which reduces the irritation and flaking most retinol newcomers experience while preserving the molecule's potency. The base includes buddleja stem cell extract for antioxidant and anti-irritant support, and bisabolol to calm inflammation in real time. The three strengths (0.3%, 0.5%, 1.0%) let you start at the appropriate concentration for your skin and step up only when ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Apply a pea-size amount to clean, dry skin in the evening. New users should begin twice weekly with 0.3%, increase to three times weekly only after two weeks of comfort, and consider stepping up to 0.5% after three months of nightly use. Always follow with moisturizer, and use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every morning. Avoid layering with AHAs, BHAs, or benzoyl peroxide on the same evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Visible fine lines, uneven texture, dullness, enlarged pores, and early signs of photoaging. The 0.3% is correct for first-time retinol users or sensitive skin; 0.5% for established users wanting more rapid results; 1.0% for experienced users with no current irritation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SkinCeuticals","offers":[{"title":"0.30%","offer_id":48281125159134,"sku":"sku-44585311436966","price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.50%","offer_id":48281125191902,"sku":"sku-44585311469734","price":115.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.00%","offer_id":48281125224670,"sku":"sku-44585311502502","price":120.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0785\/2530\/0958\/files\/skinceuticals-retinol-180438.webp?v=1774925377","url":"https:\/\/curatedclinicals.com\/products\/skinceuticals-retinol","provider":"Curated Clinicals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
