Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment
A high-strength, controlled-release retinol that combines potent anti-aging actives with soothing antioxidants to minimize the irritation typically associated with retinol.
Quality & Materials
1% Retinol, plus peptides and vitamin C. Includes licorice root and oat extract to soothe the skin.
Evidence & Testing
Retinol is the most clinically proven over-the-counter anti-aging ingredient. The encapsulated delivery system is shown to maintain stability better than open-air formulas.
Brand Transparency
Clearly states the retinol percentage (1%), which many brands hide. Packaging is opaque and airless to protect the light-sensitive retinol.
Value Assessment
Mid-range pricing for a high-performance clinical product. A little goes a long way due to the high concentration.
Why Not Alternatives?
Many 'retinol' serums use weak derivatives like retinyl palmitate; this uses pure, encapsulated retinol for deep penetration without the immediate surface irritation.
