Reform Retinol 1%
Retinol is a vitamin A derivative that increases our skin cell turnover to promote the shedding of dead skin, helping to improve skin texture, acne scarring and fade hyperpigmentation.
Retinoids reduce fine lines and wrinkles by increasing the production of collagen. They also stimulate the production of new blood vessels in the skin, which improves skin colour. This superstar ingredient also works wonders for acne by keeping pores unclogged, resulting in fewer breakouts.
Our formulation also contains 10% Vitamin E to help nourish skin while Cucumber, Chamomile and Aloe Vera soothe and calm the skin, helping to counteract the irritation associated with using Retinol. This high strength formula is suitable for most skin types.
How to use
Apply a pea-sized amount after evening cleansing and follow with your preferred moisturiser if required. Avoid the lips, direct contact with the eye, and corners of the eyes. You may apply up to the orbital bone of the eye area. Retinol should only be used in the evening as it makes your skin more sensitive to UV rays and sunlight decreases the efficacy of the product. Use of daytime SPF is strongly recommended when using Retinol/Retinoid products. Do not use if pregnant / breastfeeding.
Recommended Usage
Once daily in the evening. Retinol may be introduced slowely to avoid purging. Start 2-3 times a week and build up to daily use.
