SkinMedica Retinol Complex 0.25 – 30ml | Stabilised 0.25% Retinol with Niacinamide & Ceramides for Beginners

Taxes VAT & duties included — no surprise fees at delivery

The entry strength in SkinMedica's retinol range — 0.25% stabilised retinol with niacinamide and ceramides, for skin starting out or easily irritated.

What it does

Most people who abandon retinol do so in the first fortnight, because they started too strong and their skin reacted. 0.25% is the strength that avoids that: enough to work on the look of fine lines, texture and uneven tone, mild enough that skin adapts rather than rebels. SkinMedica stabilises the retinol so it stays effective in the bottle, and pairs it with niacinamide for the look of tone and ceramides to support the barrier — the two things that keep a retinol tolerable while skin adjusts. Results build over months, not weeks, which is why the strength you'll actually stick with beats the strongest one you can buy.

How to use

Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin at night, avoiding the eye area and the corners of the nose and mouth. Start two or three nights a week and build up as tolerated. Follow with moisturiser. Don't combine with acids on the same night. Daily broad-spectrum SPF is essential.

Who it is for

For anyone new to retinol, or with sensitive skin that has reacted to it before. Once your skin is comfortable here, the 0.5 is the next step up. Not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Patch-test before first use.
