What is retinol?
Retinol is a form of vitamin A, known to accelerate skin renewal and help reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. It's an ideal addition to your anti-ageing skincare routine, though it does take a little dedication.
What is retinol used for?
If you’re noticing signs of ageing such as wrinkles and fine lines, retinol might be for you.
See a more even-toned look and a smoother feel with Perfectionist Pro Rapid Renewal Retinol Treatment. It renews immediately for a more radiant look and starts to accelerate skin’s natural renewal from day one.
It also helps reduce the look of wrinkles, dark spots and fine lines.
How does our best retinol serum work?
Our Perfectionist Pro Rapid Renewal Retinol Treatment has a retexturising formula. High-grade pure retinol is blended into a stabilised delivery system to time-release its power. This creates the optimum balance of potency and comfort.

How do I use retinol?
Like any skincare routine, consistency is key. You should use your retinol serum or cream either every night or every other night depending on your skin’s sensitivity.
Perfectionist Pro Rapid Renewal Retinol Treatment is a dermatologist-tested formula that also includes plumping hyaluronic acid. What’s more, it’s suitable for all skin types and won’t clog your pores.
How does retinol fit into my skincare routine?
Perfectionist Pro Rapid Renewal Retinol Treatment should be applied only at night to clean, dry skin. Let it sink in for a few minutes, then follow with the rest of your skincare routine.
Due its potency, it’s important to introduce retinol carefully– start by applying it once or twice a week, then slowly build up to nightly use. Do not use your retinol serum at the same time as vitamin C or AHA-based serums.
Because retinol helps accelerate skin renewal, it’s vital to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day. We recommend Perfectionist Pro Aqua UV Gel SPF 50 – perfect for all skin types, this lightweight gel formula sinks into skin with an invisible finish and a refreshing burst of hydration.
