SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.3

SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.3 is a night treatment designed to support skin renewal for those concerned with uneven texture, fine lines, pigmentation and adult breakouts. It’s a low-to-moderate strength retinol formulation intended for people who are new to retinol or who prefer a gentler nightly retinoid routine.

What it is

How to use

• PM only: Cleanse and fully dry your skin. Apply a pea-sized amount to the face, avoiding the eye and lip area.
• Introduce slowly: Start with twice a week for 2–3 weeks, then increase frequency as tolerated.
• Moisturise: Follow with a gentle moisturiser after retinol to reduce dryness and support comfort.
• Daytime protection: Use a broad-spectrum SPF each morning while using retinol products.

Why it works

• Retinol (0.3%) – encourages skin renewal to help refine texture and reduce the visible signs of ageing.
• Bisabolol – a calming agent that can help soothe irritation often associated with retinol introduction.
• Boswellia Serrata extract – included to support tolerability and comfort during use.

What to expect

• Mild dryness, flaking or redness can occur during the adjustment period; these usually lessen as the skin adapts.
• Noticeable improvements in texture and clarity typically emerge within several weeks; more pronounced changes can appear over a few months with regular use.

Good to know

• Patch test before first use. Apply to a small area for several days to check tolerance.
• Avoid use if pregnant or breastfeeding. If unsure, consult a healthcare professional.
• Do not combine strong exfoliants (AHAs/BHAs) or other potent actives on the same night as retinol.
• If severe irritation occurs, stop use and seek advice from a dermatologist.
