Description
The formula utilizes industry-leading Poly-Pore® Technology to encapsulate high-potency pure retinol, releasing it gradually over time to visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone and texture, and minimize breakouts—without the irritation and redness often associated with retinol products. It is specially formulated with additional powerhouse ingredients, including Vitamins C and E, to maximize results, and squalane to minimize irritation. Fresh skin is brought to the surface, and collagen production is boosted, resulting in plumper, smoother, and brighter skin.
Retinol 0.5% is ideal for all skin types, particularly for maintaining results on skin pre-conditioned with Retinol 0.3%.
Size: 30 mL / 1 Fl. Oz.

This is my favourite day cream. It is the perfect amount of moisture without being overly greasy.
