What does Retinol
do for your skin?

It’s a multi-action powerhouse ingredient
and one of the most effective anti-aging
ingredients in skincare. Retinol is known to
dramatically accelerate skin renewal and
boost natural collagen to reduce
the look of lines and wrinkles.

How long to see
results with Retinol?

Consistency is key: It provides impressive
results, with a little time and dedication.
This ingredient should not be combined
with other actives, and when you use
Retinol at night, you should always wear
sunscreen during the day. It's an ideal
choice for visible results.

When to
start using Retinol?

For addressing acne, begin a Retinol
skincare routine in your early 20s. For
anti-aging benefits, begin incorporating
Retinol into your skincare regimen in your
late 20s or early 30s. Use a Retinol skincare
routine at any age, and see the results.

Pure High-Grade Retinol

Our patented retexturizing formula includes a highly effective grade of Retinol and time-release delivery, creating an optimum balance of potency and comfort.

To ensure the Perfectionist Pro Retinol maintains its potency, we created our special package design. This unstable ingredient degrades quickly when exposed to air or light, so we fill every tube in an airless chamber using an "argon blanket." In addition, we use a protective, multi-layer tube to keep out light.

The formula also includes antioxidants, plumping Hyaluronic Acid and collagen amplifiers to help bring the look of your skin into a smoother, less-lined state of perfection.

The longer you use it, the more flawless your skin will look. The renewal is significant and real—you can truly see and feel the difference.
