Retinol Complex 1.0: Frequently Asked Questions
What does Retinol Complex 1.0 do?
It is a maximum-strength nighttime retinol that smooths wrinkles, refines texture, and improves tone by accelerating cell renewal.
Is 1.0% right for me?
It suits experienced retinol users whose skin is already conditioned with lower strengths; beginners should start at 0.25% or 0.5%.
How often should I use it?
Use it at night as tolerated, building gradually; reduce frequency if you notice dryness or irritation.
Will it irritate my skin?
At maximum strength it can cause dryness or flaking, so introduce it carefully and support the barrier with moisturiser.
Do I need sunscreen?
Yes. Retinol increases sun sensitivity, so daily broad-spectrum SPF is essential.
