For years, skin treatment products were basically limited to oily perfumed products that were designed to “smooth over” surface skin issues while they delivered “aroma therapy” to their users with the perfumes that they contained. However; in recent decades a new and far more broader understanding was gained on just how the skin actually functiones biologically below the surface. This in turn led to the discovery and development of chemicals and substances that actually function on a cellular level in the skins lower substrate layers.

SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0

Highest Concentration of Retinol Available

Skinceuticals Retinol 1.0 is one products that came about as direct result of some of the latest research. With 1% pure retionol it contains the highest concentration of this powerful active ingredient than any other skin care product currently on the market. This product from Skinceuticals was designed to be used on advanced cases of skin distress including wrinkles and pigmentation issues brought on by sun exposure and or the aging process.

Not a “Feel Good” Tingly Treatment Product

This is no “feel good” treatment that will leave your skin tingling from mint oil like other products that are on the market. In fact, Retinol even in a 1% solution can be painful for some people to use. While it does stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the skins lower layers it can cause a level of irritation on the skins surface in the beginning of the treatment process. So, it is recommended that initial use be limited to only once or twice a week.
