SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.5 contains 0.5% pure retinol with advanced stabilisation and delivery technologies to ensure slow, even release for optimal efficacy.

Cautions:

- For night-time use only; avoid daytime application unless using SPF protection.

Avoid use with other AHA/BHA or Vitamin C (e.g., glycolic acid, salicylic acid, vitamin C or other retinoids) unless directed by a skincare professional.
- Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals.
- Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day, as retinol increases photosensitivity.

Apply a pea-sized amount of Retinol 0.5 to clean, dry skin in the evening, avoiding the eye area. Allow the product to fully absorb before applying additional skincare products. Begin with use once or twice per week, then gradually increase frequency to every other night, and eventually nightly, as tolerated. Establish consistent skin tolerance before progressing from Retinol 0.3 to Retinol 0.5.

- Allow the product to absorb before applying other skincare products.
- Start gradually: 1–2 nights per week, increasing to every other night, then nightly as tolerated. Establish consistent skin tolerance before progressing to a higher concentration.
