How Active Retinol Intense Age 1% Works

Retinol (a vitamin A derivative) is converted in the skin to retinoic acid, which increases cell turnover and normalizes keratinization. It also supports collagen production and reduces the appearance of fine lines, roughness and pigmentation over time.

Dosage & Directions

For external use only. Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, completely dry face at night (start 2-3 nights/week, then increase as tolerated). Follow with moisturizer. Use sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) every morning. Avoid applying on broken/irritated skin and avoid eye/lip corners.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
