    Expert Review

    "Retinol 0.5 is my go to recommendation for those that are looking to improve discoloration and rough texture, and is a stepping stone to our full strength 1.0 formula. I recommend Retinol 0.5 to clients that are able to use Retinol 0.3 every night without irritation to transition them to Retinol 1.0."

    Retinol 0.5 and Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 are a gold-standard duo for intensive anti-aging and skin correction. While Retinol 0.5 works to accelerate cell turnover and target fine lines and wrinkles, Triple Lipid Restore replenishes essential skin lipids that can be depleted during retinol use, significantly reducing the downtime associated with retinol while enhancing its corrective benefits for a firmer, smoother appearance.

    Q&A

    Q&A

    What does Retinol 0.5 do?
    Retinol 0.5 increases skin cell turnover, which improves the skin’s ability to heal and reduces wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven skin tone.
    Can I use Retinol 0.5 every day?
    Retinol 0.5 can be used daily after the user has worked up to that frequency. It is recommended that users start with Retinol 0.3 and start by applying twice weekly or every other day to reduce skin irritation. For a more comfortable retinoid treatment experience, pair Retinol 0.5 with Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 to help shorten the retinoid adjustment period, improve tolerability, and decrease skin dryness.
    How long does it take Retinol 0.5 to work?
    It is typical to start seeing visible results from Retinol 0.5 after 12-24 weeks of use.
    When should I apply a retinol cream in my skincare regimen?
    In the evening, apply Retinol 0.5 after cleansing the skin and applying a nighttime antioxidant serum, such as SkinCeuticals Resveratrol B E, and follow with a moisturizer. Retinol may increase photosensitivity. Always use a high-protection, broad spectrum sunscreen in the daytime when using this product.
    Can retinol be used in the eye area?
    It is recommended to avoid the eye area when applying retinol.
    Is it safe to use Retinol 0.5 while pregnant or breastfeeding?
    As a precaution, retinol cream products should not be used by pregnant women, women who intend to become pregnant in the near future, or women who are breastfeeding. Though there are no reports of topical retinol having any negative effect on fetal development, always consult a physician.
