RETINOL
Helps boost skin’s natural cell turnover
What is Retinol?
This potent form of Vitamin A is a skin-transforming powerhouse and the gold-standard of anti-aging ingredients. It even comes in different forms (more on that later!).
How does Retinol work in skin?
There’s a reason retinol is considered the gold standard in anti-aging and, quite frankly, a skincare staple. Here’s why: it helps promote skin’s natural cell turnover process. It also aids in reducing the appearance of wrinkles and—for those who aren’t so-concerned with aging—helps delivers smoother, more even-toned skin.
Plantscription™ Retinol Night Moisturizer
With the optimal percentage of pure Retinol, this overnight must-have delivers the youth-boosting benefits you crave with the nourishing benefits of a moisturizer. How? It helps promote skin’s natural cell turnover for improved tone and texture, while hydrators condition overnight.
