Begin with retinol 0.3%

Retinol can be part of a gradual evening routine. Retinol Complex 0.3% contains 0.3% retinol; choose it according to your skin history and the product directions, and keep the rest of the routine simple.

Retinol Complex skincare product in an elegant setting

Morning

Cleanse and moisturise as needed. Apply Defence 50 as the last morning skincare step, following the label. Daily sun protection is especially important when using retinol.

Evening

Cleanse with a gentle product such as Tender Cleanse. Introduce Retinol Complex 0.3% gradually, using it at night as directed. Apply a moisturiser if needed. Avoid adding other retinoids or multiple exfoliating products to the same new routine.

Choosing products safely

Avoid retinoids during pregnancy or while planning pregnancy. Stop if significant irritation occurs. Seek advice from a qualified professional if you are unsure whether retinol is suitable for you.
