Skinstitut Retinol corrects and brightens pigmentation and sun damage by encouraging the shedding of dead skin cells to correct uneven skin tone and texture. The ability of Retinol to regulate sebaceous gland activity also makes it a great treatment for acne breakouts and pore congestion.

How to use Skinstitut Retinol:

• Cleanse skin and pat dry.

• Apply a pea-sized amount of Skinstitut Retinol and gently massage product over the face and neck.

• Retinol and Vitamin A products are recommended to be used at night, as skin treated with retinol is more sensitive to sunlight.

• It is highly recommended to wear SPF during the day to protect from sun damage.

• If you have not used retinol products before, start with twice-weekly use at first to minimise irritation. Then slowly build up to alternate nights.

For more sensitive or easily irritated skin types that need a less intense correcting treatment, Skinstitut Rejuvenate 15 serum is recommended. Use a sun protection product such as Skinstitut Age Defence SPF50 in your morning skincare routine to ensure that your skin is protecting from sun damage, as retinol products can make the skin more vulnerable to the effects of UV rays.

What is this retinol treatment formulated WITHOUT?

Skinstitut Retinol is crafted without parabens, synthetic colours or irritating artificial fragrance. It is a cruelty free formula.

Are there any special precautions one should take while using retinol?

Retinol increases photosensitivity, so using a broad spectrum sunscreen is especially important. As your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight while using retinol, it is also recommended that you use this retinol at night. Avoiding the eye area is best and it is advised to rinse thoroughly should you get the product into your eyes.
