SkinMedica Retinol Complex 1.0 – 30ml | Stabilised 1.0% Retinol with Niacinamide & Ceramides, Highest Strength

Taxes VAT & duties included — no surprise fees at delivery

The highest strength in SkinMedica's retinol range — 1.0% stabilised retinol with niacinamide and ceramides, for skin already comfortable with retinol.

What it does

1.0% is about as strong as retinol gets without a prescription, and it's the right choice only once your skin has proved it can handle less. SkinMedica stabilises the retinol so it stays effective in the bottle rather than degrading, and pairs it with niacinamide for the look of tone and ceramides to support the barrier — which is what makes a strength this high usable rather than punishing. It works on the appearance of fine lines, rough texture, enlarged-looking pores and uneven tone, and at this concentration the effect is more pronounced than the lower strengths, provided you build up rather than diving in.

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. Even if you've used retinol before, start two nights a week at this strength and build gradually. Follow with moisturiser. Don't combine with acids on the same night. Daily broad-spectrum SPF is essential.

Who it is for

For skin already established on retinol and ready for more — not a starting point. If you're new to retinol, begin with the 0.25; the 0.5 sits between the two. Not for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Patch-test before first use, and step down a strength if irritation persists rather than pushing through it.
