Retinol 0.5 night cream helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, skin discolouration, blemishes and blotchiness.

This Retinol Night Cream is non-comedogenic and won’t block pores.

The wide-ranging retinol benefits are suitable for all skin-types.

How to Use SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5

Step 1: Prepare Your Skin

• Cleanse your face thoroughly with a gentle cleanser.

• Pat your skin dry completely before applying retinol.

• Avoid using exfoliants, acids, or other active ingredients at the same time to minimize irritation.

Step 2: Apply Retinol

• Use only a pea-sized amount of SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5.

• Gently apply a thin layer to dry skin, focusing on the face and avoiding the eye area, corners of the nose, and lips.

• Start by using it once or twice a week, gradually increasing to every other night as your skin builds tolerance.

Step 3: Follow with Moisturizer

• Wait 10-15 minutes before applying a hydrating moisturizer to help reduce dryness and irritation.

• If your skin feels sensitive, use a barrier-repairing moisturizer.

Step 4: Sun Protection (Morning Routine)

• Retinol can increase sun sensitivity, so always apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher in the morning.

• Avoid direct sun exposure and consider wearing a hat for extra protection.

Tips for Best Results

✔ Start slowly: Use once or twice a week before increasing frequency.
✔ Expect mild peeling or redness in the first few weeks—this is normal.
✔ Do not use with other strong actives like AHAs, BHAs, or benzoyl peroxide on the same night.
✔ Consult a dermatologist if irritation persists.

Who Should Use It?

• Ideal for retinol beginners or those with mild to moderate signs of aging.

• Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals—consult your doctor first.
