About Retinol 0.25 Refining Night Cream

SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.25 is specifically formulated for first-time retinol users or those with sensitive skin who want to experience the anti-aging benefits of pure retinol without irritation. This low-concentration night cream contains 0.25% pure retinol stabilized in a rich, nourishing base that helps minimize potential dryness and flaking. The formula includes bisabolol, a chamomile-derived soothing agent, and boswellia serrata extract to calm skin while the retinol works to accelerate cellular turnover and stimulate collagen production. Clinical studies show that even this gentle concentration can help improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and promote a more even skin tone. This cream serves as the perfect stepping stone before advancing to higher retinol concentrations, making it ideal for patients beginning their anti-aging journey at RELUXE Med Spa.

How to Use

Begin by using 2-3 times per week in the evening only. Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye area. Always follow with a moisturizer if needed. Gradually increase frequency as tolerated, working up to nightly use over 4-6 weeks. Must use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ during the day as retinol increases sun sensitivity. Start slowly to allow skin to build tolerance.

Pro Tip from Our Clinicians

Perfect for patients who've completed our SkinIQ analysis and are ready to begin retinol therapy. We recommend starting this after a HydraFacial or Glo2Facial to prepare the skin barrier, then gradually building tolerance before considering stronger formulations or professional treatments.
