Who should use Retinol 1.0?

This is for experienced retinol users who have successfully used 0.5% strength and want maximum anti-aging benefits. Not recommended for retinol beginners or sensitive skin.

Can I use this with other active ingredients?

Avoid combining with AHA/BHA, vitamin C, or other exfoliating treatments. Use hydrating products like HA Intensifier to support your skin barrier during the adjustment period.

What should I expect during the first few weeks?

Some dryness, mild peeling, or irritation is normal as your skin adjusts. This typically subsides within 2-4 weeks. Reduce frequency if irritation persists.

How long until I see results?

Skin texture improvements may be visible within 2-4 weeks, with continued improvement in fine lines and tone over 3-6 months of consistent use.

How to Use

Use only at night. Start with 2-3 times per week, gradually increasing to nightly use as tolerated. Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye area. Always follow with broad-spectrum SPF during the day. If you're new to retinol, start with Retinol 0.25 or 0.5 first.
