About this product
A potent clinical-strength retinol treatment from Paula's Choice combining 1% pure retinol with antioxidants to target wrinkles, uneven tone, and loss of firmness.
How to use
Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin at night, starting 2-3 times weekly and gradually increasing to nightly use as tolerated. Always follow with sunscreen in the morning.
1% pure retinol is the primary anti-aging active, buffered with bisabolol, panthenol, and antioxidants (chrysin, ectoin) to reduce irritation while retexturizing skin.
