What does Retinol do for your skin?
It’s a multi-action powerhouse ingredient and one of the most effective anti-aging ingredients in skincare. Retinol is known to
dramatically accelerate skin renewal and boost natural collagen to reduce the look of lines and wrinkles.
How long to see results with Retinol?
Consistency is key: It provides impressive results, with a little time and dedication. This ingredient should not be combined with other
actives, and when you use Retinol at night, you should always wear sunscreen during the day. It's an ideal choice for visible results.
When to start using Retinol?
For addressing acne, begin a Retinol skincare routine in your early 20s. For anti-aging benefits, begin incorporating Retinol into your
skincare regimen in your late 20s or early 30s. Use a Retinol skincare routine at any age, and see the results.

Pure High-Grade Retinol
Our patented retexturizing formula includes a highly
effective grade of Retinol and time-release delivery, creating
an optimum balance of potency and comfort.
To ensure the Perfectionist Pro Retinol maintains its potency,
we created our special package design. This unstable
ingredient degrades quickly when exposed to air or light,
so
we fill every tube in an airless chamber using an "argon
blanket." In addition, we use a protective, multi-layer
tube to
keep out light.
The formula also includes antioxidants, plumping Hyaluronic
Acid and collagen amplifiers to help bring the look of your
skin
into a smoother, less-lined state of perfection.
The longer you use it, the more flawless your skin
will look.
The renewal is significant and real—you can
truly see and feel
the difference.
Retinol may cause your skin to become more sensitive to
UV rays. So, it’s important to use your Retinol product at night,
to be diligent about applying a sunscreen with SPF 30 or
higher during the day, and to limit your sun exposure.
Looking for the best sunscreen? We recommend using
Perfectionist Pro Multi-Defense UV Fluid SPF 45 or
Perfectionist Pro Multi-Defense Aqua UV Gel SPF 50.
