MODERATE-STRENGTH RETINOL FORMULA: Retinol 0.5% in Squalane targets fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture, offering moderate-strength retinoid support.
IMPROVES TEXTURE & TONE: Works to even out skin texture and tone, addressing signs of aging such as lines and wrinkles from the loss of collagen and elastin.
CONDITIONS & NOURISHES: Supported with squalane, a conditioning agent that nourishes skin to help target dryness associated with retinol use.
SUITABLE FOR INTERMEDIATE USERS: Ideal for those who have built a tolerance to lower-strength retinol, offering an intermediate solution before progressing to higher concentrations.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS: Apply a few drops to the face in the evening. Use sun protection during the day. Do not use with other retinoid products. Refrigerate after opening.
