SkinCeuticals has launched Retinol 0.3 --  new lower strength pure retinol cream, formulated with the latest stabilization and delivery technologies to ensure a steady, even release, with minimum side-effects.

The concentrated facial cream with pure retinol will improve the appearance of visible signs of aging and skin discoloration while minimizing breakouts and refining pores.

"SkinCeuticals is a leader in retinol technology, which is why I am thrilled about the addition of Retinol 0.3 to their portfolio," says Dr. Karen Sra. "At a 0.3% retinol concentration, my reactive skin patients can finally reap the benefits of pure retinol, while keeping irritation to a minimum. It is also a great introductory product, so patients who haven't used a retinol can ease their way into higher strengths."

To further minimize irritation, the cream is formulated with a calming blend of bisabolol and boswellia serrata extract and is specially packaged to preserve its potency. 

Christina Fair, general manager, SkinCeuticals, says, "Through our widespread network of physician partners, we have seen market demand for a product that offers all the great benefits of retinol but doesn't yield the infamous irritable side effects. Retinol 0.3 is a great product to help establish consistent skin tolerance before advancing to one of our higher concentrations."

Retinol can be used in conjunction with in-office chemical peels in order to further target signs of aging and skin discoloration. As part of an at-home regimen, Retinol 0.3 should be paired with a high-protection, broad spectrum sunscreen, as well as a vitamin C serum and an anti-aging lipid-restoring cream.

SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.3 is non-comedogenic, paraben-, fragrance- and gluten-free and is available for $62 at SkinCeuticals.com and select dermatologist offices nationwide.
