Retinol is the gold standard ingredient in skincare, consistently recommended by dermatologists and heralded for the transformative effects it can have on your skin – continuously improving your complexion's appearance each day. Retinol is a retinoid, a derivative of Vitamin A. Retinol works by boosting your skin’s renewal process and helping to diminish fine lines, wrinkles and uneven texture.

HOW TO USE RETINOL

Whether you are new to Retinol or consider yourself an experienced user, see tips below to most effectively incorporate this powerhouse skin smoothing active into your daily skincare regimen.

New Retinol Users

Begin by using one Retinol product on your skin every other day to evaluate its response; then gradually increase usage until you find your ideal skincare
routine.

EXPERIENCED RETINOL USERS

While you’ve likely built up a sufficient tolerance to Retinol, we recommend monitoring your skin’s response to new Retinol products. If needed, you’re better able to adjust your personal use of Retinol after you attain your ideal daily balance.

SUN PROTECTION

We recommend that you apply a sunscreen of SPF15 or higher during the day while using any Pure RoC®Retinol product.
