A beginner-strength retinol designed to refine texture and support renewal with minimal irritation.
This is the perfect entry point into retinol if you’re just starting out or have sensitive skin. It gently smooths and refines without the dryness or irritation that often comes with stronger formulas. With steady use, you’ll notice brighter, more even skin that feels healthier and looks refreshed.
Alastin Renewal Retinol 0.25 is a gentle, clinically tested retinol designed for first-time retinol users or those with more sensitive skin. Using encapsulated retinol, it provides a controlled release that helps minimize irritation while still promoting cell turnover to improve texture, tone, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The formula is enriched with hydrating ingredients, soothing botanicals, and antioxidants to keep skin balanced and calm as it adjusts to retinol use. With consistent use, it reveals smoother, brighter, more youthful-looking skin while remaining well-tolerated.
Apply to dry skin at night; buffer with moisturizer if needed. Use SPF daily. Allow a full minute for absorption before the next step. Use morning and evening when possible, and pair daytime routines with SPF. Treat this as a small daily ritual—slow the breath, soften the jaw, and let the skin receive.
