What to expect. Skin usually adjusts in two to six weeks, sometimes with dryness, flaking or a brief breakout. Smoother texture can show after about a month, and more after two to three months. If it stings, use it on fewer nights.

Ideal for
Deeper skin tones, where a gentler retinoid means less of the irritation that can leave dark marks, and skin that finds stronger retinoids too much
Also works for
First-time retinoid users, starting two nights a week
Warnings

Skin that's irritated or peeling right now, or anyone using a prescription retinoid unless their clinician says otherwise.

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Use sunscreen daily while using this product. If pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a physician before use.

The idea

A gentle-strength Retinol Night Crème for deeper skin tones and skin that finds stronger retinoids too much.

2% HPR, a retinoid that tends to be better tolerated than retinol, sits in an emollient base with 1% Cica and 1% Cacay Oil, dosed for visible smoothing with low irritation.
