Retinol Treatment

Retinol is the most effective, most widely-researched anti-aging ingredient available. 

• 0.5% retinol yields results without irritation
• Supporting ingredients provide added benefits
• Arguably the best thing you can do for skin health & anti-aging, after sunscreen

How to Apply Retinol

1. Wash your face and wait a few minutes until your skin is completely dry. This is important.

2. If you're using a serum such as the Riversol Anti-Aging Serum or the Corrector, apply this before the retinol. Allow the skin to dry completely before proceeding.

3. Apply a pea-size amount of retinol to your face with your fingertips in upward and outward motions, starting at your chin.
