Why Dermatologists Recommend SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.3

Our dermatology team recommends SkinCeuticals Retinol 0.3 for patients who are new to retinoids or have sensitive skin and want to begin an anti-aging regimen. Retinol is one of the most well-studied ingredients for improving visible signs of aging, but starting with a lower strength helps the skin build tolerance while still delivering visible improvements in texture, tone, and radiance over time.
