Retinol Complex

SkinMedica Retinol Complex is an evening serum made with microencapsulated pure retinol in a moisturizing base, offered in 0.25% and 0.5% strengths so you can build up gradually. It helps improve the look of fine lines, uneven texture and dullness.

Key ingredients

• Microencapsulated pure retinol (0.25% or 0.5%): released gradually through the night; helps improve the look of fine lines, uneven texture and dullness
• Niacinamide and ceramides: part of the moisturizing base that helps skin feel comfortable
• Botanical antioxidant complex: antioxidant support

How to use

In the evening, apply a pea-size amount to clean, dry skin. If you are new to retinol, start with 0.25% two evenings a week, and move to three evenings a week only after two weeks of comfortable use. Consider stepping up in strength after three to six months of nightly use. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every morning.

• Choose 0.25% if you are new to retinol, or 0.5% if your skin is already used to it.
