SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0 Anti-Ageing Night Cream 30mL
Warning: Retinol 1.0 is only intended for those who already have experience with Retinol 0.5.
Retinol 1.0 is a very high-strength retinol product, and should only be used in the evening. To avoid irritating the skin, use a lipid-rich moisturiser such as Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 Anti Ageing Moisturiser after application of the 1.0 retinol to seal in moisture. SkinCeuticals recommends you consult a skincare professional before starting use of a product with this high concentration of retinol. Retinol increases skin cell turnover and this process makes the skin extra sensitive to the effects of the sun. It's essential to use a broad spectrum, high SPF sunscreen such as Skinceuticals Ultra Facial Defense SPF50 when using this retinol product.
How to Use:
Prep + Dispense
Having cleansed your face, apply a thin layer of the moisturiser and allow to dry (regardless of concentration, retinol should not be applied to damp skin as it may be absorbed more deeply and cause irritation). Once skin is dry, apply a pea-sized amount of Retinol 1.0 night cream, closely followed by a second layer of moisturiser to sandwich moisture in. Allow for full absorption before applying other products and limit initial use of retinol to once or twice weekly. Gradually increase the frequency to every other night, then every night as tolerance builds. SkinCeuticals recommends users new to retinol start with Retinol 0.3, progress to Retinol 0.5 and only then to Retinol 1.0.
Apply + Complete
Retinol is prone to increase skin photosensitivity, so ALWAYS use a high SPF, broad spectrum sunscreen during the day. As a precaution, retinol cream products should not be used by pregnant women, or women who intend to become pregnant soon. Always consult a healthcare professional before using.
