What is it:

Retinol 1% in Squalane offers a water-free solution containing 0.2% retinol—an ingredient that improves the appearance of fine and dynamic lines that arise from a loss of collagen and elastin, while evening skin texture and tone.

What it does:

• Helps to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Brightens the appearance of photo damage.
• Improves the general signs of visible skin ageing.
• This entry-level formula is supported with squalane, a moisturizing agent naturally found in your skin that enhances surface-level hydration and helps combat the dryness that can be associated with retinol use.
