Retinol 0.3 is a concentrated facial cream with pure retinol that improves the appearance of visible signs of aging and pores while minimizing the appearance of blemishes.
Retinol 0.3 is recommended for first-time retinol users. This potent nighttime treatment features 0.3% pure retinol enhanced with the latest stabilization and delivery technologies to ensure a steady, even release. Formulated with soothing bisabolol to minimize irritation and specially packaged to preserve its potency, this retinol face cream helps improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, blemishes, and pores by accelerating cellular turnover. Retinol cream 0.3 is ideal for continued use or conditioning skin as a prerequisite to SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5.
ACCELERATING CELL TURNOVER
Cell turnover is a naturally occurring process during which the outer layer of skin sheds dead cells and replaces them with new cells. As skin ages and turnover decreases, the cells heal more slowly from damage caused by free radicals, increasing the appearance of visible signs of aging.
Combat decreased cell turnover by incorporating retinol into your regimen. A powerful form of vitamin A, Retinol 0.3 stimulates turnover and supports collagen production, keeping skin smooth and radiant.

Prep + Dispense
In the evening, apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye area. Allow product to absorb before applying other skincare products. Limit initial use to once or twice a week, gradually increasing frequency to every other night, then every night as tolerated. It is important to establish consistent skin tolerance before advancing to a higher concentration.
Apply + Complete

IS RETINOL 0.3 EFFECTIVE?
Yes, Retinol 0.3 is an effective low dose of retinol. Retinol 0.3 is considered “retinol for beginners,” as it does not put the user’s skin at as much risk of irritation. A low-dose retinol night cream can help to condition the skin before moving on to a more concentrated formula.
WHAT DOES RETINOL 0.3 DO?
Retinol face cream promotes cellular turnover, which reduces the appearance of discoloration, wrinkles, and fine lines.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I USE RETINOL AS A BEGINNER?
Users should start by using Retinol 0.3 once or twice weekly to see how the skin reacts. They can then slowly work toward every other day or three times weekly. Starting with intermittent use can reduce skin irritation. For a more comfortable retinoid treatment experience, pair Retinol 0.3 with Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 to help shorten the retinoid adjustment period, improve tolerability, and decrease skin dryness.
IS IT SAFE TO USE RETINOL 0.3 WHILE PREGNANT OR BREASTFEEDING?
As a precaution, retinol cream products should not be used by pregnant women, women who intend to become pregnant in the near future, or women who are breastfeeding. Though there are no reports of topical retinol having any negative effect on fetal development, always consult a physician.
WHEN SHOULD I APPLY A RETINOL CREAM IN MY SKINCARE REGIMEN?
In the evening, apply Retinol 0.3 after cleansing the skin and applying a nighttime antioxidant serum, such as SkinCeuticals Resveratrol B E, and follow with a moisturizer. Retinol may increase photosensitivity. Always use a high-protection, broad spectrum sunscreen in the daytime when using this product.
CAN RETINOL BE USED IN THE EYE AREA?
It is recommended to avoid the eye area when applying retinol.
