DESCRIPTION

Size: 30ml

Skin type: Normal, Oily, Dry, Combination

Pregnancy/Breastfeeding/TTC safe: No

FUNCTION

What it is: This highly stable, water-free, high strength age-defying solution features 0.5% pure retinol.  An ingredient that can reduce the appearance of ageing with impressive results

Notes:
As retinol can cause irritation, The Ordinary recommends beginning your regimen with lower concentrations to allow skin to build up tolerance

Helps to: 

• Reduce the appearances of fine lines, pigmentation and ageing
• Retinol encourages cell turnover, revealing healthier, softer skin while also tackling blemishes, dark spots and defying signs of ageing – including softening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and uneven tone

HOW TO USE

When to use: PM

How to use: Apply a small amount to face in the PM as part of your skincare regimen, after water serums but before heavier treatments

Notes:
When pregnant or breastfeeding, it is recommended to avoid any skincare products containing retinoids such as formulations with Granactive Retinoid or Retinol

Caution:
- Retinoids can make the skin more sensitive to UV radiation. Sun protection is particularly important when using retinoids
- This product must not be used in conjunction with other retinoids including retinol or retinoic acid
- This product is not a treatment for acne. Acne-prone skin may experience a temporary increase in acne during the first few weeks of using any form of retinoid including those used in this formulation
