beginner retinol gel 0.1%

Our Beginner Retinol Gel is clinically-tested for sensitive skin and made with our Tri-Retinoid Comfort Complex™ to improve the appearance of fine lines and uneven texture with no irritation. Retinol, one of the most well-researched ingredients for aging and blemish-prone skin, helps support skin’s collagen and promotes surface cell turnover for a youthful glow. Our retinol complex is further buffered with a soothing blend of aloe and cica to prevent excessive dryness.
